Date Range
April 2017 to April 2024
Background Information
Data is provided on the offences recorded by Essex Police under the Home Office code ‘008/21 Owner of a dog allowing it to be dangerously out of control in public place and cause injury'. It is broken down by financial year and outcome type between 2017 and 2024.
Note
- Outcomes refer to the crimes created in the stated periods and not those that were only disposed in that period (hence number for ‘Not Noted’ as this means the investigation is still under investigation and therefore does not have an outcome).
