I note you seek access to the following information:

broken their probation licence conditions?
2. Out of this figure, how many were considered high priority, and/or considered to pose a risk
of harm to others?
3. Out of the total number of warrants issued per year, as stated in answer to (1), how many of
those individuals have been re-arrested?
4. Out of the warrants consider high priority, as stated in the answer to (2), how many of those
individuals have been re-arrested?
5. Out of the total number of warrants issued, as stated in the answer to (1), how many of those
individuals have re-offended while a warrant for their arrest was active?
6. Out of the total number of warrants issued, as stated in the answer to (2), how many of those

8. Referring to the individuals stated in answer in question (6), what crimes have they

9. Please provide the following information about any individual who is the subject of a warrant
for arrest for breaking their probation licence conditions, but who has not as yet been
re-arrested: names, ages and last offence for which they received a custodial sentence.
Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (2000). You will
receive a response within the statutory timescale 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 advance of our response, I would like to point out that the Freedom of Information Act provides the public
with a right to request access to recorded information held by the Constabulary. If any of the information you
have requested is not contained in a recorded format, the Constabulary is not obliged to create information
for the purpose of responding to your request.
We aim to respond to your request by the
6th August 2009. In some circumstances the Norfolk Constabulary
may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is likely, you will be informed and given a revised timescale at
the earliest opportunity.
There may be a fee payable for the provision of the information you have requested. 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 chose 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.
Yours sincerely,
Liz Collishaw Freedom of Information Department
