NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED

Dear Mr Mack

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REF: COL/10/336

I write in connection with your request for information dated 11 August
2010 in which you seek access to the following information:

For each of the three years to July 2008, July 2009 and July 2010, please
provide details of the amount of time spent by the City of London police
on campaigns actively targeting:

1. Cycling offences committed by those on pedal cycles

2. Those in/on motorised vehicles illegally stopping in advanced stop
line boxes reserved for cyclists;

3. Driving offences committed by those in/on motorised vehicles (which
may include motoring driving offences associated with advanced stop
lines).

The information may be provided in the format most easily accessible by
you and may be broken down into categories of employee and by hours, days
or another measurement of time.

Questions 1 to 3

The information that you have requested is not held by the City of London
Police and we have been unable to identify any data that would enable us
to calculate the amount of time spent targeting the activities listed.

You may be aware of Operation Atrium which targets cycle safety and has
included an enforcement element, but now focuses on education. We hold
some statistical data relating this operation but it does not include the
time spent targeting the activities listed.

The following statistics relate to the number of Fixed Penalty Notices
issued for certain offences in July for each of the three years specified,
but we are unable to state if the Notices were issued as part of a
campaign.

July 2008 = 200 Cycling offences committed

July 2009 = 313 Cycling offences committed

July 2010 = 411 Cycling offences committed

July 2008 = 6 Motorised vehicles illegally stopping in stop line boxes

July 2009 = 4 Motorised vehicles illegally stopping in stop line boxes

July 2010 = 5 Motorised vehicles illegally stopping in stop line boxes

July 2008 = 343 Driving offences committed by motorised vehicles

July 2009 = 269 Driving offences committed by motorised vehicles

July 2010 = 265 Driving offences committed by motorised vehicles

Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying to your request,
which resulted from the difficulty in identifying any relevant statistical
data. Please note that your request for an Internal Review is being dealt
with by the Head of Information Management Services and he will be writing
to you shortly.

Should you have any further questions regarding your request, please
contact me via e-mail, letter or telephone, quoting the reference number
above.

Yours sincerely

Inspector Dave Lockyear

Information Access Manager
