Safety and Security: A Safe Haven

Safety is a key aspect of Gibraltar’s appeal. It consistently ranks as one of the safest places to live in Europe, offering residents a high standard of living without the concerns of urban crime.

• Low Crime Rate: With a small population and strong community ties, Gibraltar enjoys a low crime rate. The local police force is well-resourced, ensuring a quick response to any emergencies and contributing to the territory’s reputation as a safe and secure environment.
• Political Stability: As a British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar benefits from political stability and a robust legal system, providing further assurance for businesses, investors, and residents alike. This stability extends to the region's economy, fostering confidence in both long-term investment and personal safety.
• Leisure Activities: New arrivals frequently comment that their young teenagers are living “their best lives,” as the level of freedom to attend after-school activities and simply chill with friends is unmatched. Thanks to the frontier situation, child abduction has been unheard of in Gibraltar.
