I was not aware that the UK police department had open data access. This is great and I hope other countries follow this model too.

I checked the crime categories and there's no mention of cyber-crime. Is there any other data source that tracks this?

Good spot, I haven't looked myself but there is a list (https://data.police.uk/static/files/police-uk-category-mappi...) of the full list of categories; it may be that cyber-crime falls into one of the other categories provided by the API.

True. There are two sub-categories referencing crime involving a computer under 'Public Order'
