    Description

    Important information: detailed data on crimes recorded by the police from April 2002 onwards are published in the police recorded crime open data tables. As such, from July 2016 data on crimes recorded by the police from April 2002 onwards are no longer published on this webpage. This is because the data is available in the police recorded crime open data tables which provide a more detailed breakdown of crime figures by police force area, offence code and financial year quarter. Data for Community Safety Partnerships are also available.

    The open data tables are updated every three months to incorporate any changes such as reclassifications or crimes being cancelled or transferred to another police force, which means that they are more up-to-date than the tables published on this webpage which are updated once per year. Additionally, the open data tables are in a format designed to be user-friendly and enable analysis.
