Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
When considering the information, please note:
- A search of the Command-and-Control System was conducted for all Incident logs categorised as ‘ASB’ recorded in the specified period.
- Working hours has been interpreted as between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
- For attendance, results were filtered to remove incidents with a blank response time (indicating no deployment at the time).
The breakdown based on the above searches and criteria is set out below; however, please see the further information set out later in the response*.
The numerical data presented below is an unaudited snapshot of unpublished data sourced from "live" systems and is subject to the interpretation of the original request by the individual extracting the data.

*Please note that it is not currently possible to accurately differentiate between whether an incident was attended by an officer or PCSO etc. Therefore, the above data is based on incidents showing as attended only.
Where a report is made and the THRIVE model indicates that deployment is not appropriate at the time of reporting, this does not mean that an officer or PCSO has not attended or made a visit at some later point/s as part of an ongoing investigation or follow up action.
