Response

Our data are not organised in such a way as to allow us to provide this information within the appropriate (cost) limit within the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act (see ‘Reason for Decision’ below).

For Question 2:

The data on the type of vehicle used in this offence is not held in a searchable format.  Therefore, every record of this offence type would need to be individually assessed.

Although excess cost removes the force’s obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, as a gesture of goodwill I have supplied information, relative to your request, retrieved before it was realised that the fees limit would be exceeded (see enclosed). I trust this is helpful, but it does not affect our legal right to rely on the fees regulations for the remainder of the request.

For Question 1:

2020       7

2021       219

2022       108 up to 31st August
