Your local police team, by postcode.

How this works

Your postcode is matched to a neighbourhood policing area via data.police.uk, which returns the team, its contact details and the priorities it has published. The dataset covers England, Wales and the British Transport Police. Police Scotland publishes no neighbourhood feed, so a Scottish postcode shows the local policing division that covers it and the council area’s recorded crime from the Scottish Government’s open statistics: every crime and offence group for the latest financial year, the rate per 10,000 residents against Scotland as a whole, the change on the year before, the share the police cleared up, and fifteen years of the overall rate. The PSNI’s policing districts are the council districts and its recorded crime is published on NISRA’s open data portal, so a Northern Ireland postcode shows the district’s crimes for the latest financial year by Home Office classification, the rate per 10,000 residents against Northern Ireland as a whole, the change on the year before, ten years of the overall rate and how many people were stopped and searched.
