🚓 UK Police Data MCP

The UK Police Data API (data.police.uk) provides an open window into policing across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It powers apps, dashboards, and research by making crime statistics, outcomes, neighbourhood details, and stop-and-search data freely available in machine-readable form.
