This dashboard brings together data from publicly available police sources. Because the data is provided by individual forces, there may be some variation in how it is collected and reported.
Police forces also operate in different areas with different challenges, so figures should be interpreted carefully and in the right local context.
This dashboard is designed to be simple and accessible. The full platform at policedata.co.uk provides much more powerful functionality, including advanced querying, custom dashboards, full data source references with direct links to original publications, and a REST API for building your own tools and integrations.

Most of the data shown here is updated annually. This is because police forces submit official data returns to the Home Office as part of a national reporting process.
As a result, the figures may not reflect very recent changes, but they provide a consistent and comparable picture over time. Annual data is reported by financial year (FY), so for example, FY 2024 covers April 2024 to March 2025.
