MK crime map

A map that tells you what sort of crimes and how many of them have been committed in your area goes live today.

www.safermk.com allows the public to see 27 different categories of crime and anti-social behaviour data within their neighbourhood and estate. It includes things like burglary, robbery, rowdy behaviour, arson and domestic abuse.

The data will be updated monthly and the police hope that it will give people a better idea and perspective of crime rates in their area.

This is the first site of its kind in the UK and in the future it will also contain NHS data, becoming more than just a crime website.
