Drug Offences: Drug offences include being in possession of, being involved in the production of or being in possession of with intent to supply, or trafficking any controlled drug. NB. The location of many drug possession offences in Police Stations are due to drugs being found in the possession of the offender (for another offence) when searched.
Crime statistics are taken from a live crime recording system (CIS). The data is OPERATIONAL data, it has been extracted from the live system and converted into .csv format. The data has not been audited or verified by Statisticians at Nottinghamshire Police in any way, and therefore must only been used as a reflection of crime, rather than authorised and fully verified data. Data is extracted from the first to the last day of every month period. For Analytical purposes, the field Date From is used by the JiN Partners to select the date period. The JiN Hub extracted and deleted all spurious records with a crime location outside the Nottinghamshire Force Area. Non-Geocoded data has been excluded from this download. The location of many drug possession offences in Police Stations are due to drugs being found in the possession of the offender (for another offence) when searched.
