August 2026 is the latest month it has published. The mile also takes in part of Greater Manchester's police force, which has published nothing to Police.uk: crimes there are not in these figures. These are counts, not a rate: we hold no count of the people who live, work or pass through, so we do not say whether a place is safe.

Each month, September 2025 to August 2026

By kind, over the 12 months

Also: other crime 23, shoplifting 18, possession of weapons 9, bicycle theft 2, robbery 2, theft from the person 1.

Police.uk says its locations "always represent the approximate location of a crime". Each crime is moved to the nearest of a fixed list of map points, each over a street centre, a public place or a commercial premises, chosen so that every point covers at least eight addresses or none. A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
