Description
Is this a safe place to live, work or walk home at night? Most of us answer that with gut feeling, an estate agent's opinion or a quick look at a crime map full of dots that's hard to make sense of. Safety Signal turns official UK police data into one clear score for any postcode or wherever you're standing, and shows you what's actually behind it.
HOW IT HELPS
• Buying or renting a home: look up a street before you book a viewing. Check several postcodes to compare their scores, see whether crime is rising or falling over the past year, check for flood warnings nearby, and see what the local police team says its priorities are.
• Moving for university or a new job: find out whether the area around your new flat has a burglary problem or mostly anti-social behaviour, before you sign.
• Visiting somewhere new: arriving in an unfamiliar city late at night? Check the area around your hotel or station in seconds.
• Out and about: with Live Tracking, your score updates as you move, and you get an alert if you stop somewhere with a low score.
• Staying informed about your own area: see what's changed month to month and who to contact locally.
FREE FOR EVERYONE
• Safety score for any UK postcode or your current location, from 0 to 100
• Crime breakdown by type (violence, burglary, theft, anti-social behaviour and more), weighted by seriousness
• Scores adjusted for how many people live in the area, so busy city centres and quiet villages are compared fairly
• 3-month and 12-month trends showing whether an area is getting safer or not
• Your local neighbourhood policing team: who they are, how to contact them, and the local priorities they've published
PREMIUM
• Scoring profiles: a burglary matters more where you live, and personal safety matters more on a night out. Weight the score for Where I Live, Where I Work, Visiting or Traveling, and it re-scores the area around what matters to you
• Live Tracking: your score updates automatically as you move, with an alert if you settle somewhere with a low score. Ideal for travelling, commuting or walking home
• Air quality and pollen: the UK Daily Air Quality Index, a plain-English guide to each pollutant, and grass, tree and weed pollen counts for hay fever
• Flood warnings: live Environment Agency warnings and alerts in force near the area (England)
• Stop and search: how many searches were recorded nearby, what officers were looking for and what came of it
• Weather and street lighting: current conditions, plus street lamps mapped in OpenStreetMap with links to report a broken light
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and an Apple Watch app
Premium is available as a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. Cancel anytime in Settings.
WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM
Crime data comes from data.police.uk, the official open data published by UK police forces, covering street-level crime within about a mile of the location. Police publish monthly, usually two to three months behind, so Safety Signal shows the latest month available. Population figures are from the 2021 Census. Air quality comes from Open-Meteo, flood warnings from the Environment Agency, and street lighting from OpenStreetMap.
Safety Signal covers the UK only. Scores are a guide to help you make informed decisions. They are not endorsed by the police or government, and can't tell you whether a specific street is safe at a specific moment. In an emergency, always call 999.
