Dear Ms Mercer

Reference No: RFI2010000127

Thank you for your request for information dated 21/02/2010 which, for
clarity, I repeat:

1) How many deaths in custody have occurred in the last 5 years?

2) Which station was responsible for each person who died? (Eg.
Bromley: X deaths. Brixton: Y deaths. Etc.)

3) How many members of the public are served by the police stations
where deaths occurred?

Your request for information has now been considered. There have been no
deaths in any Thames Valley Police custody areas in the last 5 years
therefore no information relevant to your request is held.

Please contact me quoting the above reference number if you would like to
discuss this matter further and may I take this opportunity to thank you
for your interest in Thames Valley Police.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Shields
