THE POLICE and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has announced the establishment of a new ‘Data Hub’ to improve the access of residents to local crime data.

Matthew Barber, PCC for Berkshire, has funded a new online platform which allow access to data collected by Thames Valley Police.

The service will categorise and sort the data into local council areas, including information about residential burglary, anti-social behaviour, and vehicle crime, as well as information about the use of Stop and Search.

It will be updated quarterly and will even include national comparisons where appropriate.

The service is already live, and shows that Thames Valley Police received around 94,000 calls to 999 between April and June, and more than 101,000 calls to 101 in the same period.

Calls to 999 took an average of 7.1 seconds to answer in the same period.

TVP recorded 7.1 incidents of anti-social behaviour per 1,000 residents in the year to June, and performed 6.1 stop and searches per 1,000 residents.

Mr Barber said: “The purpose of the Data Hub is to give Thames Valley residents easier access to data on reported crime rates, 999 and 101 call volumes and response times, and public trust and confidence, and to display this in a format that is easy for people to understand.

“Crime types have been categorised to mirror the three pillars of my Police and Crime Plan – protecting communities, protecting people and protecting property whilst an additional section on public confidence will provide a snapshot of public trust in policing and feelings of safety, the data for which will be taken from my Trust and Confidence survey, as well as stats around the use of Stop and Search.

“The data is available for anyone to view on my website: www.thamesvalley-pcc.gov.uk.

“This increase in visibility around recorded crime will provide residents with a clearer picture of crime in their area and help to strengthen the relationship between Thames Valley Police and the communities it serves.”

Thames Valley Police is also appealing for feedback and suggestions on how to improve the service, which can be emailed to: datahub@thamesvalley.police.uk.
