Local policing on police.uk →12-month comparison
This area’s figures use the last 12 months of Police.uk street-level data (~0.25 mile). Benchmarks below are Untagged’s own samples (not an official UK average) — villages, towns, and mid-sized cities. Each sample place is averaged across the same 12 months, so monthly average and latest month differ.

What this neighbourhood crime checker shows
Enter a UK postcode to see recent street-level crime from Police.uk open data. Postcodes are converted to latitude and longitude first (postcodes.io or your saved portfolio) — the Police API never accepts postcodes directly. Choose how many months of history to load (up to 12).

How to check crime when buying or letting
- Enter the full UK postcode for the property or street you are researching.
- Pick how many months of Police.uk data to load (default covers recent history).
- Review the map pins, then the category bars for what types of crime appear most often.
- Use the 12-month comparison to see whether the area sits higher or lower than typical sample places.
- Treat this as a neighbourhood signal alongside a viewing — not a substitute for local knowledge or insurer advice.
Neighbourhood crime FAQ
Does Police.uk accept a postcode?
No. This tool geocodes your postcode first, then queries Police.uk by latitude and longitude only.
How far around the postcode is searched?
Street-level results are drawn from roughly a quarter-mile around the geocoded pin — useful for neighbourhood due diligence.
Is this official crime statistics?
Incidents come from Police.uk open data. Area comparisons use Untagged’s own sample places for context, not an official national average.
