In April 2011, Chief Constable Mick Creedon announced that our crime levels across the county had fallen for the eighth year in succession, with the crime reduction equating to nearly 37,000 fewer victims of crime over this period.
The end of year figures also saw domestic burglary reduced by 2.1 per cent in comparison to the previous year, vehicle crime by 16 per cent and criminal damage by 12 per cent. Violent crime rose by 4.4 per cent.
Local Crime Figures
Crime Mapping allows us to show you where crime is happening at a local level, so we can better engage with our communities and help them determine how best to police the area they live in.
The latest version of the crime mapping website has been launched in February 2011, allowing you to enter your postcode or area name and from this find out the latest street-level crime statistics using a simple, user-friendly interface and highly-detailed maps.
Updated on a monthly basis, the crime statistics show the total numbers of crimes on or near the street you live on, and can then be broken down further into categories such as burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence and anti-social behaviour.
