Dear Freedom of Information Officer,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I
am outlining my query as specifically as possible.

1) How many members of your Police Force have been arrested in the
last year? Preferably, I would like the statistics of arrests made
from October 2008 to October 2009. If this is not possible, then I
would like you to give me the latest statistics you can i.e. August
2008 to August 2009.

2) What were the reasons for these arrests and how many members of
your police force were arrested for each offence?

3) How many of these arrests led to convictions in court?

I would be interested in any information held by your organisation
regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify
particular files or documents and that it is the department’s
responsibility to provide the information I require.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you justify
all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I
will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve
the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or to
charge excessive fees.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing/by email that
you have received this request. I look forward to your response
within 20 working days, as outlined by the statute.

Regards,

Dan Perry

Dear Mr. Perry,

Thank you for your request for Information, received at this office on
23 November, 2009, in which you requested details of the following:

Members of Humberside Police Force that have been arrested.

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 Humberside Police 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.

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 chose 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.

We anticipate being able to provide you with the information that you
have requested on or before 21 December, 2009.

Should you need to discuss this further please do not hesitate to
contact the unit.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Waller
