Downloads data from the 'UK Police' public data API. Includes data on UK police forces and police force areas, crime reports, and the use of stop-and-search powers.

Details

Most functions return a tibble with the requested data, with the exception of ukc_specific_outcome() in some cases, which returns a list containing a list and a tibble.

Data accessed through ukpolice is licenced with Open Government Licence v3.0.

The API allows for 15 requests each second, but up to 30 in a single second if in a single burst. The API does not require authentication. See the API documentation for more details.
