Salford, in common with other inner city areas, suffers from a disproportionate level of crime. The majority of crime is petty. Street robberies are rare, though theft of and from vehicles is rife. Salford does have a "reputation." However most of the stories regarding Salford and its villains are very much the stuff of urban myth and legend. Common sense, being streetwise, and awareness of your surroundings should minimise the risk of being a victim of crime. In an emergency, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the service you require Police, Fire or Ambulance.
