Dear Mr Henderson 
 
Freedom of Information Act Request Reference N0.: FOI 476/08 
 
I write in connection with your request for information, which has been received by the Norfolk 
Constabulary.  I note you seek access to the following information: 
 
1.  The total number of homophobic hate crimes reported to you in the last year 
2.  The last three years 
3.  The total number of those hate crimes that were reported to the Crown Prosecution 

Service in the last year 
4.  The last three years 
 
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 21st of November 2008. 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. 
 
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, 
Richard Kindleysides
