Crime by police force area

Looking for something smaller than a police force? Browse crime by postcode district (for example E8 or LS2) for a finer-grained view of the same published data.

44 areas with loaded street-crime data. These pages use police force boundaries from data.police.uk - not city-council or postcode boundaries. For a council's own area, see crime by council area. For all 43 forces of England and Wales together, and the forces ranked by published crime rate, see England and Wales crime statistics.

How to read these pages

• Figures are counts of published police records, not a safety score.
• A page titled London, Manchester, or Leeds still uses the parent police force dataset for that area.
• Police force areas are much larger than a single street or postcode. For a finer view, browse crime by postcode district.
• For a 0.5 km postcode view, use a neighbourhood report.
• Moving home? Read how to check crime rates before buying a house.
• See the methodology and what a police force area covers.
