(1) Warrants are categorised by the police on receipt as either A, B or C according to their priority. Category A Warrants are for serious original offences or offenders posing a higher risk whereas Category C Warrants are for low level offences.

(2) Better performance is indicated by a higher percentage.

(3) Data are provisional and subject to change

(4) Data shown as available at 11 January 2010

(5) England and Wales total is calculated using data for Greater Manchester CJS area that has yet to be confirmed and is therefore likely to change.

(6) 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 large administrative data systems generated by police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.

(7) The figures shown as national targets are aggregates of the local targets which LCJBs have set themselves.
