Calls To Assist Private Corporations To Prevent Breach Of Peace

The request was refused by North Yorkshire Police.

Stephanie Whitley

Dear North Yorkshire Police,

Under the Freedom Of Information Act I request the following information/statistics.

Over the last 5 years the amount of requests the force has has received from TV Licensing/Capita to attend a property to assist with executing a search warrant/prevent a breach of the peace. If possible I would appreciate the total requests actually attended by officers or declined by the force and all broken down by year.

A copy of any guidance/policy/documents relating to assisting TV Licensing (or any private corporations including, but not limited to: Bailiffs, TVL, Councils etc) when attending a property to enforce a warrant, such as deployment criteria, role of impartiality at scene etc.

Over the same period broken down by year, the amount of incidents where the words TV Licence/TV Licensing or BBC are reported and the reason for report, i.e. harassment, assault etc.

Yours faithfully,

Stephanie Whitley

Buckton, Chris, North Yorkshire Police
