Data Coverage
Source: Police.uk monthly bulk data.
Coverage: Participating forces in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, normally published with an approximately two-month lag; Scotland is not included. PSNI does not publish stop-and-search data through Police.uk, and other forces can omit a stop-and-search file for individual months.
Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
Caveats: Locations are approximate anonymised snap-points. Self-defined and officer-defined ethnicity are distinct fields reproduced as published, not verified identity data. The source data is not official statistics.
