A search has been conducted using our record Management System (Niche RMS) for all crimes recorded under HO (Home Office) codes:

• 104/8/73: Assault causing no injury of a Constable
• 8S/5/1/19/8S: ASSAULT POLICE CAUSING INJURY (S18 GBH)
• 8S/8/1/19/8S: ASSAULT POLICE CAUSING INJURY (ABH / S20 GBH)

Please note that the data has been retrieved by searching on the ‘Crime Date’ and not the ‘Reported Date’. Therefore, these figures relate to occurrences that were recorded as a crime between the following time frames, 01/04/2022 to 31/03/2023, 01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024 and 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025 and not when the occurrences were first reported.

At South Wales Police we monitor and collate statistical data on crimes, incidents and other data relevant to our daily business. The results retrieved are dependent on how the information has been entered onto the system. As such, the information provided should not be considered statistically accurate and/or definitive and therefore, care should be taken when using this data for any further statistical, analytical or evaluative purposes.
