Open Data on Offenses from the Police and Border Guard Board
The Police and Border Guard Board’s open data on offenses can be used in research that, for example, analyzes crimes by regions and communities, examines broader connections between general daily mobility of residents and, more specifically, the mobility of offenders and victims, as well as choices of residence or business location.
The database contains information on three types of offenses:
- Offenses detected during traffic supervision (e.g., time of the offense, legal basis for classification, location including geographic coordinates, vehicle information, offender’s gender, age, and residence, type of offense).
- Public order and public-space property offenses (e.g., time of the offense, type of incident, legal basis for classification, amount of damage, location including geographic coordinates, type of offense).
- Property offenses (e.g., time of the offense, type of incident, mode of commission, type of supervision, legal basis for classification, amount of damage, location including geographic coordinates, vehicle information, type of offense).
The open data is based on the police case management system POLIS. The oldest data dates back to 2012, and the dataset is updated weekly. Offense data is published in CSV format.
