In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.
From May 2013, the following changes were made to the crime categories:
I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".
The Economic Policy Centre www.economicpolicycentre.com has made every effort in order to ensure that the data for UkCrimeStats is accurate and up to date. However, we are aware of certain deficiencies in this data which are beyond our control. That's because as a 3rd party developer, we do not collect the data, the Police do who then hand it over to another data company to release to 3rd party developers such as ourselves. We only download and analyse it so that you can use it. For full detail of these deficiencies, please read here.
Totnes West is a large rural area with the majority of the population concentrated around the villages and hamlets, but it also has more scattered and isolated areas of population, which extend into the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.
A main attraction for our area is the Avon Dam. Over the course of the 19th and 20th Centuries a number of dams and reserviors were built in theAvon Dam area now covered by the Dartmoor National Park to supply drinking water to the rapidly growing towns in the surrounding low lands. With its deep valleys and high rain fall, Dartmoor was an inevitable location. Early schemes to use the moors as a source of drinking water involved the construction of water channels caled leats, for example Drakes Leat completed in 1591 runs from Burrator reservoir taking water to Plymouth. In 1957 the Avon Dam was finally completed and became one of five major dams and reservoirs in the Dartmoor National Park area. Dartmoor National Park
The crime figures for the neighbourhood are below the national average making Totnes West a safe place to live with the likelihood of being a victim of crime again well below the national average.
The aim of the Totnes West team, through community engagement, which in part means getting to know you and your ideas and your concerns, is to work with you, the community, our partner agencies and the general public to reduce and prevent crime, the reduction of antisocial behaviour resulting in hopefully a reduction of the fear of crime.
