Dear Mr Henderson

Thank you for your request for information received via email in this
office on 24th October 2008. This request will be dealt with under the
terms of the Freedom Of Information Act 2000. Details of the request
received:-

[1a] the total number of homophobic hate crimes reported to you in

the last year

[b] the last three years

[2a] the total number of those hate crimes that were reported to

the Crown Prosecution Service in the last year

[b] the last three years.

Your request will now be considered and 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 some circumstances Cumbria Constabulary may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

In the event that your requirements change or you no longer wish to
receive a response to your request, I would be grateful if you could
advise me of this as soon as possible.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make a payment then your request will
remain unanswered.

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.

I would like to thank you for your interest in Cumbria Constabulary.
