Crime and safety: look beneath the average

Sussex Police did not provide crime data for January 2026 at the original publication. The checked changelog does not explicitly confirm a later crime-data refresh for that month. Published monthly records are retained, but annual totals, rates and year-on-year comparisons spanning that month are withheld pending confirmation. This does not mean the currently returned records are absent. Publication notice ↗

See where mapped crime has changed, which categories account for it and the local responses proposed.

Every ward uses the same published months and boundary method. Approximate locations are not a measure of all crime or personal risk. Anti-social behaviour is counted separately.

What could help?

Weakness · Chichester district

District totals can conceal local changes

Police neighbourhood trends differ within Chichester. City-centre activity cannot be inferred from the district average.

Published police locations are approximate and omit unmapped incidents. Counts do not measure every crime or the risk to an individual.
