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.

The Dawlish Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of Sergeant Joe Mathews, PC Ray Faichney and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) Gary Cairns and Tamzin Campbell-Moselely.
Dawlish is a safe place to live where the likelihood of being a victim of crime falls well below the national average. Incidents of serious crime are very low indeed and residents and visitors alike enjoy a very good quality of life.
However, there remains an issue with the fear of crime, which some people continue to experience. This may be created by differing views of what is acceptable.
