POWERED BY POLICE.UK DATA
Crime Check
Search crime statistics for any UK postcode using live data from police.uk. Enter your postcode below to see recent crime reports in your area.
Covering Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and the wider North West — with data available for all UK police force areas.
Note: Greater Manchester postcodes will show low crime figures. This is because Greater Manchester Police currently submits very limited data to the national police.uk database — it does not reflect the true crime picture in the area. For Manchester crime statistics, visit gmp.police.uk directly.
How to Use the Crime Check Tool
Enter any UK postcode into the search field above and press enter or click the search button. The tool queries the national police.uk database and returns crime reports recorded in your area over the most recent available period.
Results are grouped by crime category and reflect data submitted by the local police force covering that postcode. The tool is completely free to use and requires no account or registration.
What the Results Include
Results show reported crimes by category, including anti-social behaviour, burglary, criminal damage, drugs, robbery, theft, vehicle crime, and violent or sexual offences — with counts for the selected area and period.
Data reflects what was reported and recorded by police. Not all crimes are reported, so figures indicate patterns rather than providing a complete picture of crime in the area.
