Crime Statistic in Wychavon - Crime Mappers
Wychavon is a low crime area and we are working hard to
ensure that it continues to be a safe place.
You find out more information about crime and anti-social
behaviour in your area by visitng http://www.police.uk/, the latest
development of the government’s crime mapper initiative, giving the
public greater access to local crime information across England and
Wales.
The site shows crime from the past month in six categories as
dots on a street map. The dots, known as ‘snap points’, are fixed
at neutral locations and represent the approximate location of
where the crime or incident has happened.
On the site, users will also be able to access details of their
local policing team and forthcoming neighbourbood meetings and
events with information pulled from the West Mercia Police
website.
Owned and operated by the National Policing Improvement Agency
(NPIA), the site aims to support the government’s transparency
agenda and make the police service more accountable to local
communities.
All crimes are expected to be shown on the web-site but grouped
into six categories to protect people’s privacy and ensure more
sensitive crimes are not attributed to a particular area.
The crime categories are:
- burglary
- robbery
- vehicle crime
- violence
- other crime
- anti-social behaviour.
Using a simple post code search, members of the public can
access an overview of crime in their neighbourhood and then zoom
into street level crime.
