Dear Sir/Madam,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 165-09-233
I write in connection with your recent FOI request which was received on the 21st April
2009. I note you are seeking access to the following information:
1) How many people were arrested for soliciting prostitutes or kerb crawling by Surrey
police in each month of 2008.
2) Of those arrested in each month the number who were a) released without charge
b) Cautioned
c) Charged
d) Fined
e) If none of the above can be applied to each arrest I would like to know how the
crime was dealt with.
Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information
Act 2000. You will receive a response within the statutory timescales of 20 working
days as defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a
reference to a third party. In some circumstances Surrey Police may be unable to
achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-
scale at the earliest opportunity.
There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information
you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20 working day timescale
will be suspended until we receive payment from you. If you choose not to make
payment then your request will remain unanswered.
Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public
authority in order to answer your query in the fullest possible way. Again, you will be
informed if this is the case.
