2) Of the total number of NIPs above, how many were generated from fixed cameras.

55,022

• Handheld/Other = We are unable to determine the type of camera/device used to capture the offence. Some offences could have been captured by in car speed capture devices and others could be handheld speed guns. 
• Posted Speed Limit / Unknown = 3 offences did not list a CCCJS code with the speed limit included (i.e. Exceed a 30-mph speed limit in contravention of a Local Traffic Order – automatic camera device) – these were offences committed by heavy goods vehicles exceeding the speed limit for their class.

The safety van is normally posted to A roads and those speed limits are anything between 30 and 50 mph.

Please note that these data should be interpreted with caution. Comparing numbers of incidents/crimes can be misleading and does not necessarily indicate the likelihood of someone being a victim of crime. In addition, the number of incidents/crimes recorded in an area over a period of time can be influenced by a number of factors. Consequently, statistics on incidents/crimes for one period may not necessarily be a good indicator of future incidents in that area.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are considered when interpreting those data.

The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be considered when those data are used.

If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
