In 2025, the Hautes-Pyrénées department experienced a mixed crime landscape, with burglaries surging by 31.3% and domestic violence doubling, while vehicle thefts rose by 7.6%. Authorities attribute the increase in burglaries to itinerant groups, with ten individuals responsible for 84 incidents in gendarmerie zones. Violence against law enforcement also saw a significant 34% increase. In response, authorities have bolstered strategies, including increased patrols, over 24,000 transport checks, and 10,500 road controls, alongside 447 video surveillance cameras across 28 communes. The fight against drug trafficking resulted in 17 kg of drugs seized, with prosecutors adopting a zero-tolerance approach to minor offenders and increasing immediate court appearances to 147.
