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.
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.

This site is intended to help people understand police performance. It is not designed to be used as a league table. Police forces operate in areas with different populations, demographics and challenges, so direct comparisons may not always be appropriate. Figures should be interpreted with care within the appropriate local context.
