This dashboard visualises key findings about police resource allocation in England. It focuses on the effect of the large police recruitment drive that began in 2019, exploring changes in police numbers alongside crime and other related metrics.
The dashboard brings together government data on police recruitment and geographic data for police force areas:
The analysis also uses a force-by-year panel of police, population and crime indicators, including knife crime, violence against women and girls (VAWG), and an anti-social behaviour proxy.
