More information on CrimeMapper website

The CrimeMapper website has been changed to include further
categories, helping to show more accurately where crime and
anti-social behaviour takes place at a local street
level.
CrimeMapper is a website which displays local crime information, allowing members of the public to see what is happening in their local area.

Since October the public have been able to use the police.uk
website to see how their Force performs in a range of
areas like crime rates, quality of service and victim
satisfaction.
Now it is possible to map crimes to or near a
range of public places like railway stations, nightclubs,
parks and shopping areas. The figures are collated on a
monthly basis and the data for December will be the first
month available using the new more specific locations.
Sussex Police is committed to being more transparent and is making its own changes to the Force website to make information and data more readily available to everyone. This will enable people to find out just how policing in their neighbourhoods works and if it's working effectively.
Deputy Chief Constable Giles York said: "Sussex Police understands the need for greater transparency in enabling members of the public to rightly hold us accountable for the decisions we make. People have the right to know how resources are being used and to judge for themselves whether or not they are being used responsibly and in the interest of the local community.
"Sussex Police is currently in the process of publishing a wide range of information, from polices, minutes and financial data, to street-level crime and performance statistics. We are keen to further increase engagement between members of the public and our officers and would welcome any questions people may have relating to the information they find on our website.
"I believe that in making data easier for everyone to access, it opens up the potential for someone to do something incredibly positive with that information that could help change and improve policing."

Later this year CrimeMapper will be further changed to include
what action police have taken after a crime has taken place, from
arrest through to conviction.
