The Home Office will soon be changing the way crime figures are released, but we still hope to bring you monthly Brigg crime updates.
Police forces will now oversee the information, which was how things worked for many, many years.
Email alerts informing people that the latest crime figures have been revealed - and providing a helpful link to the online information - will be discontinued. Why this is being done has not been revealed.
