Dear Sir,

Thank you for your response, where can I access the figures for
those two districts?

Yours sincerely,

Nick Henderson

Dear Mr Henderson
As I stated in my reply the two districts informed me that they do not
record this information, therefore no information is held by Cleveland
police for that aspect of your request.The only thing I can suggest to
try and assist you is to ask the CPS to break down their figures and
tell you how many were dealt with by them from Cleveland then
subtracting the figures I sent you would give you a figure for the two
districts combined.
Regards
Tony
