Faro also ranked fourth among the districts that saw the biggest drop in general crime the past year.
Regarding violent and serious crime, it dropped 5.3% in the Algarve, from 2019 to 2020. Loulé was the Algarve municipality with the most crimes reported in 2020.

Good luck trying to get the military police(GNR) to do anything about crimes
I suspect many people have simply give up bothering to report crime
The central government has left the Algarve dangerously understaffed and as other countries have shown, once you start ignoring the pettiest of crimes you are on a slippery slope to lawlessness.
