Officer training re illegal Hunting and prosecutions.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Gloucestershire Constabulary,
Please could you answer the following FOI questions.

What % of Police Officers - excluding Wildlife Officers - have received training to recognise illegal hunting?

What % of Wildlife Officers have received formal training to recognise illegal hunting?

Who provided this training - as in their qualifications and capacity?

How long was the training course?

Policy & Procedures:
Are officers being asked to actively monitor hunts and look for evidence of illegal activities?

Do officers monitoring hunts have to 'declare an interest' if they hunt?

Finally-
How many successful prosecutions have you secured regarding the illegal killing of foxes/hares?

Yours faithfully,

B Wray

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your response.
I see that you do not hold information regarding prosecutions.
In which case, please can you tell me how many individuals were charged/summoned in relation to hunting foxes with hounds.

Yours sincerely,

B Wray
