Use of Force Dataset

Historical figures in this dataset are subject to change each month This is due to incident forms being filled in for incidents that have happened in past months Recording of Use of Force was introduced in April 2017. As such data prior to April 2017 is not comparable. Counting Rules Each row set represents use of force by an officer on one subject. This row set is not a count of incident . Where more than one officer has used force on the same subject, this will be shown on separate rows of data. As such this will result in duplicate metadata. Further consideration needs to be taken when analysing this data to ensure correct conclusions are drawn. For example if 2 officers use force on an individual who happens to be male aged 18-34 this will be shown on 2 rows of data. Hence, if grouping the data, you would have a count of 2x males and 2x 18-34 which would be incorrect. If the same Non CED Taser tactic is used more than once in an incident it is only counted once. Where the tactic of use was CED Taser, only the use of highest severity is counted. So, if a taser was drawn and fired only the instance of it being fired will be counted. Taser Use Severity Level (highest to lowest) 1 CED (Taser) angle drive stun 2 CED (Taser) fired 3 CED (Taser) drive stun 4 CED (Taser) arced 5 CED (Taser) red-dotted 6 CED (Taser) aimed 7 CED (Taser) drawn Data includes incidents that have taken place Out of Force area.Use of Force Dataset used in the Use of Force dashboard which is available here https://www.met.police.uk/sd/stats-and-data/met/use-of-force-dashboard/ (please see dashboard for data definitions). Figures are updated and reconciled each month form the start of each FY to the latest completed month. Due to an internal IT deployment, from 27th February these datasets may be temporarily disrupted. Work is ongoing to rebuild these datasets.

Green Job Postings

About this dataset This page presents experimental analysis related to green jobs and skills in London, using online job postings data provided by Lightcast. This near real-time data can be used to help track and assess the demand for green expertise in London. When using outputs from this analysis it is important to be aware of the following caveats: The methodology used to identify green job postings remains experimental and subject to revision. Online job postings may not fully reflect the overall composition of vacancies in the London labour market, as the number of vacancies is more evenly distributed across occupational groups in other data sources. The analysis is not intended to be comprehensive or exhaustive. It is a snapshot analysis of key data as it pertains to London. The analysis does not represent the full body of evidence on which Mayoral Policies are, or will be, based. Outputs should be triangulated with other sources of information and analysis to develop a rounded statistical picture of any specific policy issues.

Transport Crime in London

Number of crimes and crime rate by type of public transport, including bus, LU / DLR, London Overground, and London Tramlink. Monthly data released 3 months at a time at end of each quarter.The BTP is responsible for policing the rail network in London, including the TfL managed London Underground (LU), the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Tramlink and the London Overground (LO) services. Crime figures for the LU, DLR, London Tramlink and LO have been provided by the BTP. Crime figures for LU and DLR are reported together as these networks are policed by the same division of the BTP. The BTP only deals with crime relating to the rail and Tramlink networkThe MPS is responsible for policing the rest of London’s transport network, including the bus network. The figures reported for the bus network are based on official MPS figures for bus-related crime unless otherwise stated.There is no distinct category of ’bus crime’ in the MPS crime recording system. Recorded crime data is extracted from the MPS system using a complex query that searches all MPS crime for transport venue codes and those that have the word bus, bus stop, bus station and transport related words somewhere in the electronic case file. For this reason, some crimes that did not occur on the bus network will be included in the figures. This is different from the BTP as all crimes dealt with by the BTP and included on their crime recording system relate directly to the rail network.The crime volume and rate figures displayed by month are accurate according to the month they were extracted from police and TfL systems and are subject to revision due to late reporting of crimes and adjustment of crime and passenger figures. The full financial year total of figures will differ slightly as they will reflect the most accurate and up to date crime and passenger data available; hence the monthly figures here should not be used to generate full financial year totals. The adjusted financial year figures are published in the annual TfL Crime Statistics Bulletin available here.Data will be updated on a quarterly basis, showing monthly breakdowns of crime volume and rate of crime per million passenger journeys. The rate of crime per million passenger journeys is calculated by the dividing the volume of crimes by the number of passenger journeys multiplied by one million.A crime rate per million passenger journeys was unavailable for London Overground prior to April 2011 due to lack of accurate passenger journey information across the entire London Overground network. This dataset is included in the Greater London Authority's Night Time Observatory. Click here to find out more.

Animal rescue incidents attended by LFB

The London Fire Brigade attends a range of non-fire incidents (which we call 'special services'). These 'special services' include assistance to animals that may be trapped or in distress. We routinely get asked for information about the number of such incident attended by the London Fire Brigade and this data is published on the London Datastore to assist those who require it. The data is provided from January 2009 and isupdated monthly. A range of information is supplied for each incident including some location information (postcode, borough, ward), as well as the data/time of the incidents. We do not routinely record data about animal deaths or injuries. Please note that any cost included is a notional cost calculated based on the length of time rounded up to the nearest hour spent by Pump, Aerial and FRU appliances at the incident and charged at the current Brigade hourly rate. The London Fire Commissioner is the fire and rescue authority for London and runs the London Fire Brigade.

Diatom taxon abundances at river sites in the Cordillera Blanca region of the Peruvian Andes, 2020

This dataset provides diatom taxon abundance data from 11 rivers in the Cordillera Blanca region of the Peruvian Andes. Benthic diatoms were collected from a 9 cm2 surface on five submerged cobbles at each river site. Diatoms were identified and abundances determined using microscopy methods in the laboratory from each replicate, then averaged across the five replicates for each site. Data were collected from 7/05/2020 to 16/05/2020. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/6f8b326e-d1f0-413e-b8ac-472b83c7de5e

Functional traits of the tallest tropical tree species in Borneo, 2022

This dataset comprises 25 traits related to plant hydraulic function and wood anatomy for 38 individual trees of five dipterocarp species from a site in Borneo. Traits were measured at multiple positions along each tree: at the bottom and the top of the trunk, then at 3 positions along a lower, a middle, and an upper branch in the crown of the tree - so 12 measurement points per tree for the traits. The trees that were measured ranged in height from 7.7 to 71 m in height. These data were all collected following standardised methodologies for each trait sampled and they were all collected during one very large field campaign which took place during 2022. Following this anatomy samples and data were processed. The aim of this data set was to test whether tree height alters the water transport system of trees to make them more vulnerable to the impacts of drought.

Integrated Floodplain Management - ecology & hydrology data, 2006-2008

Hydrological monitoring data in this data collection result from dipwells installed at studied flood defence scheme, where electronic gauges monitored water-table fluctuations over time. Ecological data contain species sighting records of birds, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies recorded during site visits to flood defence schemes in summer 2007. These data aim to show the relationship between water regimes and habitat potential.The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. Agricultural Flood Defence Schemes in floodplain and coastal areas were once an important element of Government support for farmers in Britain. More recently, however, changing priorities in the countryside, concern about environmental quality and perceptions of increased flood risk in lowland areas, in part linked to climate change, have promoted a re-appraisal of land management options and policies for floodplain areas. Eight agricultural flood defence schemes, previously studied by the research team in the 1980s, have been re-examined to identify and explain changes in land and water management that have occurred over the last 40-years. This involved stakeholder and institutional analysis, farmer interviews, ecological surveys, field observations and modelling of hydrological and related ecological processes. Generic land use scenarios have been developed to consider management options that focus on single objectives, such as maximising agricultural production, maximising biodiversity and minimising flood risk in the catchment. The scenarios examined the impacts of changes in rural land use on ecosystem goods and services. The influence of agricultural policy, interacting with farmer circumstances and motivation, on land use has also been explored. The project also evaluated the impacts of the summer 2007 floods on agriculture and rural communities. The results revealed opportunities for achieving a wide range of benefits relating to farming, biodiversity, amenity, flood management, water quality and the wider rural economy. The study informed strategies for floodplain management, helping to develop approaches that are appealing to major stakeholders. Historical data on the studied flood defence schemes, farm business survey data and interviews with farmers at flood defence schemes, and interviews with farmers and rural businesses affected by summer floods in 2007 are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6377 (see related resources). Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).

Eating biodiversity - ecology data, 2005-2007

The study is part of the NERC Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme. This project investigated the links between quality food production and biodiversity protection by asking the question: can production systems that use and maintain biodiverse natural grasslands, translate that into a source of additional product value in the production of meat and cheese and therefore benefit rural economies? The aim was to inverse the conventional understanding of landscape or environmental quality as the outcome of well managed farming to explore the idea of natural grassland biodiversity as an input into more sustainable farming and as an integral component of product quality. This dataset consists of the grassland botanical composition and chemical soil analyses resulting from this project. A botanical field survey of a number of sample grazing sites on selected case study farms records the plant species present within a representative area of phytosociologically homogeneous vegetation and the percentage cover that each species vertically projects onto the ground surface. Soil analyses of sample sites determines soil composition, pH and minerals. Land management, consumer opinion and nutritional data from this study are available at the UK Data Archive under study number 6159 (see online resources). Further documentation for this study may be found through the RELU Knowledge Portal and the project's ESRC funding award web page (see online resources).

Vegetation composition data from a series of former nitrogen deposition experiments in the UK, 2000-2021

The main data are vegetation composition percent covers in a series of experimental plots situated in the United Kingdom. These data were collected by others and have been rescued and synthesized for this resource. There is a unique ID identifying the plot from which vegetation data were recorded. These unique IDs are also used in the other .csv file, which provides the experimental design information for each plot in each experiment, together with information on further former N deposition experiments, where designs have been characterised but vegetation data are not available at this time. Data were collected over different years, ranging from 2000 to 2021, in experiments of different length and design and methods that have been translated into a common measurement scale. The supporting documentation provides further information on each of these experiments, and when and how vegetation data were collected and subsequently derived Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/b9e76736-7db9-4576-acd9-dfdf9f8ff9a3

Metal concentrations in seawater, marine sediment, plankton and fish in Eastern Scotland, 2020-2023

[This dataset is embargoed until September 30, 2027]. The dataset includes concentrations of a range of metal(loid)s in seawater, marine sediment, plankton and fish samples collected in East Scotland between 2020 and 2023. The data was collected as part of the project "Uptake of chemicals from legacy waste sites in coastal food webs and effects on higher predators" ("CLEWS"). The samples were collected during a monitoring field campaign to determine spatial and temporal differences in concentrations of metal(loid)s in sediment and water and to characterise the uptake of these contaminants into planktonic and fish species which are the major food source of shags. The field campaign was carried out within shag population foraging ranges and focused on the Firth of Forth area, with additional water, sediment and fish samples collected off North Aberdeenshire coast where some shags from Firth of Forth colonies spent time outside of the breeding season.

Topsoil visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectral data from the UKCEH Countryside Survey, Great Britain, 2018-2019

The dataset contains information about the visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) reflectance spectra collected from re-quartered reserved fine earth (FE) soil samples obtained during the 2018-2019 Countryside Survey. Out of the 481 samples collected during the survey, only 451 were used for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy due to sample availability. Diffuse reflectance spectra were gathered from 451 samples using the ASD AgricSpec spectrometer and from 306 samples using the FOSS DS2500 spectrometer in the visible (350 to 780 nm) and near-infrared (780 to 2500 nm) regions, with spectral resolutions of 1 nm and 0.5 nm, respectively. The spectral data from both instruments were employed to predict 23 soil parameters related to harmonized soil properties within the Open Spectra Soil Library (OSSL) prediction engine. A comparative analysis was performed between 12 of the available measured soil matrices and their corresponding prediction results Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/ea727f8d-6441-4d88-8ed7-1760bda0c3c3
