Reported drug use

The request was refused by Strathclyde Police.

Dear Strathclyde Police,

Can you confirm that two officers of the Linn Community Policing Office received information from a member of staff in a Secondary School in Castlemilk who approached them regarding widespread drug use in and around the school grounds late 2009/ early 2010?

Can you confirm that the member of staff supplied a whole-school role of pupils identifying those pupils involved in drug use in and around the school grounds?

Can you confirm that two officers attended at St. Margaret Mary's Secondary School as a follow-up to this shortly afterwards and spoke to both the headteacher of the school and the member of staff who raised the original concern?

Can you confirm that the pupil believed to be responsible for the sudden upsurge in drug use was identified by both members of staff of the school?

Can you confirm that several other pupils (3) were identified as being involved in supplying drugs to other school pupils?

Can you confirm that the Community Policing team increased officer patrols around the school and placed two officers at the gates of the school for a period to monitor the situation?

Yours faithfully,

Paul Hughes
