Due to the way we pull the data there is no way for us to search all social media crimes, we would have to carry out a key word search.

We can key word search ‘social media’ however that won’t pick up everything as sometimes the description will include the name of the site. Therefore, please could you provide a list of social media sites you would like included in the key word search.

Regards
FOI Team
