Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

Thank you for this reply. To clarify, my original request sought data on visits that were not prompted by 999 calls but by the Local Authorities liaising with the police. Pre-arranged visits where armed police accompany social workers.

Would this data be held on a database that isn't the CAD?

Can you tell me:

- the number of times police accompanied social workers on visits
- the number of times armed police accompanied social workers on visits

I am looking for data you hold from this financial year and the previous financial year on:

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Woolley
