Hi Mark,

Thanks for sending this across. Can I confirm that the total number of cases for 2018/19 would be calculated by adding together the data from Genesis and Athena for that year?

If this is the case, the total number of offences recorded in the 2018-19 financial year is 237, with 6 of those cases resulting in a charge.

I would be grateful if you could clarify this as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Shanti Das
