Response
I am writing to inform you that we have searched our records and the information you requested is not held by West Midlands Police. We have no specific policy in place to routinely pass victims and/or witnesses details through to immigration for Enforcement action. However, investigators may well need to liaise with Immigration as part of the evidence gathering process.
