Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP): a partnership of police, local councils and other local agencies and organisations tackling crime and disorder in your local area.

The figures shown are a combination of police recorded crime figures and data collected by the British Crime Survey (BCS). All reports of incidents, whether from victims, witnesses or third parties, and whether crime-related or not, result in the registration of an incident report by the police. An incident is recorded as a crime if, on the balance of probability, the circumstances as reported amount to a crime defined by law and there is no credible evidence to the contrary.
