NOTES: If your crime recording systems have been updated or changed since 2019 meaning you cannot provide data for all the years requested then please provide as many years’ data as possible.

Additionally, if your force has produced a super-response or similar document please can you ensure that any more recent years or months since the super-response was published are included in your response.

Also, if the request for all data back to 2019 will take this request over the cost limit then please can you just provide data for 2022 and monthly data for 2023 and 2024 from 1st January to 31st August.
