THE number of break and enters across town are the lowest they've been in a decade and Warwick has now been named the safest place to buy a house in Queensland.

The RACQ Insurance Home Security Index calculates the number of home theft claims made per 100 RACQ policies in each postcode.

It found postcodes 4370, 4700 (Rockhampton), and 4161(Alexandra Hills) to be the least likely for houses to be broken into.

The study found residents in the 4370 postcode area, insured by RACQ, did not make one claim for break and enters last year.

Queensland Police Service's new online crime maps, which provides detailed information on crime statistics in postcode areas, lists 27 reports of unlawful entry in the past three months and one robbery in Warwick.

Warwick police officer in charge Stewart Day said Warwick police had been working hard to reduce the number of break-ins over the past few years.

"We have seen a 30% reduction over the last three years," Senior Sergeant Day said.

"Over the past three years we have seen the lowest level of break-ins in Warwick for a decade."

Snr Sgt Day said the reduction was due to a combined effort of the Warwick police, Crime Stoppers and vigilant residents.

Warwick Real Estate principal and long-time Warwick resident Neil Carney said he definitely agreed with the Warwick being dubbed the safest in the state.

"I grew up here and moved back 10 years ago," he said.

"It has always been a safe town.

"There is not a lot of crime compared to other places."

And when it comes to selling houses in the Rose City, Mr Carney said the crime rate was something many people considering making the move to Warwick asked about.

"People from the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, where the crime rate is not so good at the moment, are looking to move to a safer environment," he said.

But Mr Carney said it was not just the safety aspect that drew people to the area.

"It is a combination of things," he said.

"Affordable housing and not a high-traffic environment.

"Many people come here to retire and are amazed that peak hour lasts for two minutes and still has the sporting and shopping facilities of a larger community."

But while it might be a safe community Snr Sgt Day said it was still vital for people to keep their homes locked up.

"Lock the front door even when you are at home and if you are going away for an extended period of time get someone to collect your mail and bring in your rubbish bins," he said.

Snr Sgt Day said the Warwick police offered free security audits to residents.
