FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 415-2024
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 15th April 2024 as follows:
Arrests by country of birth for 2021, 2022 and 2023 by local authority district
If you cannot split it by local authority, forcewide statistics are fine
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in providing the response to your request and for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
Please note that it is not possible to provide the breakdown by Local authority area as this information is not available in a readily retrievable format. Although there is an arrest location field within the Custody System, this is free text and limiting searches to anything containing the five local authority districts in Warwickshire would not return all results as, in most cases, only the town and/or street will have been entered. In order to provide a response to your request it would be necessary to review each of the 18,124 arrests for the period, on an individual basis, to ascertain which local authority the street or town is in. As you will appreciate, such searches would take an inordinate amount of time and the cost of providing you with the information would exceed the fees limit (£450) as stated in the Freedom of Information (Fees and Appropriate Limit) Regulations 2004.
Please find the Forcewide breakdown set out below.
