I refer to your request for information dated 18 July 2008, which was received by Strathclyde

was made to grant your request in full.  As such, the information you have requested is 
detailed below. 
 
Please could you advise of the number of, if any, serving police officers in Strathclyde who 
have criminal convictions? 
 
It would be simply super if this could be supplied for each division, but if not, then a total 
would suffice.

your request has been dealt with, you are entitled in the first instance to request a review of
