Show HN: Ukpd – a Node.js module to provide access to UK Police Data (github.com) 6 points by shermheadryder 6y ago ↗ HN
[–] dreamer7 6y ago ↗ I was not aware that the UK police department had open data access. This is great and I hope other countries follow this model too.I checked the crime categories and there's no mention of cyber-crime. Is there any other data source that tracks this?

[–] dreamer7 6y ago ↗ True. There are two sub-categories referencing crime involving a computer under 'Public Order'
