Future changes

In order to make published figures as accessible as possible to a wide range of users, it is planned to publish tables in Open Document Spreadsheet (ODS) format rather than Microsoft Excel for future releases of these statistics.The aim is that users with most types of spreadsheet software, including Excel and open source software, will be able to download and use the ODS format workbooks in the same way as currently or with better functionality. If you have any comments on these plans please contact us via policestats@homeoffice.gov.uk.
