Please can you provide me with the number of police reports, per city/borough, of indecent exposure from neighbours between the following periods:

Having completed enquiries within Essex Police in respect of Section 1(1)(a), Essex Police does hold information relating to your request, Essex Police can confirm in respect of Section 1(1)(b) the following data:
Caveats:
The data is correct as at 10 February 2022.
Date Range: 01 January 2019 to 31 December 2021.
Whilst the request asks for all reports of Indecent Exposure by a neighbour, even if a crime is not committed, we do not record the victim’s relationship to the offender unless an offence has been committed. Therefore, the statistics provided show only where an offence has actually been committed and not all reports of Indecent Exposure.
For the location, we have split the data into the district in which the offence has been committed.
