The data provided above represents a distinct count of occurrence number (for example, an offence may involve theft of power tools and theft of hand tools, and whilst these are recorded separately on police systems, they have been represented as one offence for the purposes of the above data).
Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
