A new interactive national map gives access to local crime statistics and neighbourhood policing details. The website was developed by the National Policing Improvement Agency and police forces across England and Wales, on behalf of the Home Office.

The online map allows residents to view figures for all crimes as well as burglary, robbery, violence, vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour in their area, at the touch of a button. The public will be able, for the first time, to compare one police area with another, compare figures over a three-month period against the same period of the previous year, and see annual crime rates.

Details of citizen's neighbourhood police teams, local policing priorities and information about forthcoming local events such as crime prevention meetings and local surgeries, are also available.
