Cheltenham Crime Figures for 2024

This page shows monthly street-level crime counts for Cheltenham’s neighbourhoods, using data from the Police.uk API. The figures are based on approximate, anonymised locations and are updated monthly, typically a month or after the end of the month in question. For example, January’s figures are usually available in early March.

Crime locations are approximate and anonymised by the Police.uk API. A report count does not indicate that a crime occurred at an exact mapped location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where Does the Crime Data Come From?

  • From Police.uk, which publishes the street-level crime reported to each police force in England and Wales. Cheltenham's figures are recorded by Gloucestershire Constabulary, and this page is updated each month as new figures are released.

Why Are the 2026 Figures so Low?

  • From August 2023 to January 2026, around 1,000 crimes a month were reported in Cheltenham. From February 2026, only a handful a month have been published, which points to a problem with how the data reaches Police.uk rather than a real fall in crime.
  • The problem has been reported to the police data team, who are working on a fix at the source. The figures on this page will be updated as soon as the corrected data is published.

Why Isn't the Latest Month Shown Yet?

  • Police.uk usually publishes each month's figures early in the month after next, so January's crimes normally appear in early March.

Are Crime Locations Exact?

  • No. To protect the privacy of victims, Police.uk moves each crime to a nearby anonymous map point, so a figure shows roughly where a crime happened rather than an exact address.

What Are the Neighbourhoods?

  • They are the 14 neighbourhood policing areas that Gloucestershire Constabulary uses for Cheltenham. They are not the same as the town's electoral wards; for crime counted by ward, see our ward profiles.

How Can I Compare Areas Fairly?

  • Busier areas naturally record more crime. Our crime map compares every part of Cheltenham by crimes per 1,000 residents over 12 months, which makes areas of different sizes easier to compare.
