Assaults against police officers

Dear Strathclyde Police,

I am conducting some research into assaults on police officers and
I am looking for some information with regards to this. I was
wondering if you could provide details of the following:

(1) the number of incidents as a force you have recorded where an
police officer has been assaulted in the line of duty
(2) the number of these incidents the force have issued alternative
methods of justice (e.g. Fixed Penalty Notice)
(3) the number of these incidents the force have reported to the
procurator fiscal

It would be most helpful if you could provide information in
relation to incidents treated as assaults at common law and also in
terms of Police (Scotland Act 1967, s. 41(1)(a)

All the above information would be for the last complete 12 month
period that you have information available for.

Yours sincerely,
Alistair Sloan
