Did you know we have a dedicated powers and duties tool?
Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

- This category shows the number of other police-recorded crimes. This includes forgery, perjury and other miscellaneous crime.
This data is taken from the Data.police.uk site who receive and process the data from the 43 geographic police forces in England and Wales, the British Transport Police, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Each month each of the forces submits a file containing a record of all the crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) incidents in the previous month to the Single Online Home National Digital Team. The data goes through a rigorous quality control process, details can be found on data.police.uk/about page, including location anonymisation. Location anonymisation is necessary to strike the balance between providing granular crime data and protecting the privacy of victims; therefore, the data represents the approximate location of a crime — not the exact place that it happened. Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) are derived from the anonymised point and all aggregations for higher geographies use LSOA as the building block.
Users should note that the data is a snapshot in time at the end of a particular month. For the crimes that are uploaded, some may be reclassified as a different type of crime in future months, or confirmed as a false report after investigation. Similarly, a crime may have its location changed in the source IT system as more information becomes available. In most cases, this will not be reflected in the data unless the force decides to do a complete data refresh. This is fairly rare.
The data presented here is for a specific month, users may find the Local Police Recorded Crime Rolling Year Series published by the Office for National Statisitcs (ONS) and available in LG Inform of interest.
