Freedom of Information: protest arrests

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, North Yorkshire Police should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Sarah Wilson and I am using a WhatDoTheyKnowAccount shared with my colleagues Harriet Clugston and Claire Wilde. I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from you:

I would like you to provide me with the number of people arrested by the force during their participation in a protest from the beginning (01/01/20) of 2020 up to 31/05/21 broken down by month. For each person arrested, I would like you to provide me with the protest type (e.g. Black Lives Matter, 5G, pro-life) attended, the person’s age, sex and ethnicity, and the power under which they were arrested.

In addition to this, I would like you to provide me with the outcome of each person’s arrest: e.g. a fine, a charge.

I would appreciate the information in spreadsheet format if possible. If there is any way in which you would like me to refine or explain my request further, please let me know.

Yours Sincerely,

Sarah Wilson
