NT Crime Statistics February 2024

This dataset contains counts of offences recorded by the NT Police, categorised by offence type, time period (month), location and (for assault offences) alcohol and domestic violence involvement. Certain types of offences show strong seasonal impacts and numbers show considerable monthly variation, particularly at the regional level.

There has been a break in the crime statistics time series following November 2023, due to the implementation of the SerPro data system. This means that the statistics from December 2023 onwards should not be compared directly to earlier statistics.

Despite the dataset representing the offences that had been recorded at the time of extraction, it has been identified that the February 2024 statistics may not match the demand for police services in some areas. Work is being undertaken by the Department of the Attorney-General and Justice and the NT Police to identify and rectify the issues.
