Stop and account statistics (if collected)

Surrey Police did not have the information requested.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you provide me with as much of the following data as you have available:

1. The total number of searches carried out by the force under "stop and account" powers. Please supply this data by month, for as many months as are available.
2. A breakdown of the total number of "stop and account" searches by the subject's self-defined ethnicity. Please supply this data by month as above.

I understand that not all forces record "stop and account" searches, but I would be grateful for any data you do have.

Thank you for your attention, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like me to clarify this request.

Yours faithfully,

Anna Powell-Smith

Dear ANNA SMITH,

Freedom of Information: 001653/19 (STOP AND ACCOUNT FOI)

I write to acknowledge receipt of your Freedom of Information Request
(FOI).

The Act requires us to respond to FOI requests within 20 working days of
receiving the request. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is likely to be
a delay in us providing you with a response. We currently have a
significant backlog which we have reported to the Information
Commissioner's Office. We are working with the ICO to reduce the delay.

I would like to apologise in advance and hope that this does not cause you
too much inconvenience.

Yours Sincerely,
