Dogs seized under the Dangerous Dogs Act

West Midlands Police and Crime Panel did not have the information requested.

Dear West Midlands Police and Crime Panel,

In the overall department and within the Dangerous Dogs Unit over each of the years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (or the last period for which full information is held):

1. Of the dogs seized each year under Section 1, how many were released under the
Interim Exemption Scheme?
2. Of the dogs seized under Section 1 each year, how many were put to sleep?
3. Is there a plan in place to introduce within the Crown Prosecution Service a dedicated
court process which would deal specifically with dangerous dog cases and related
crime? If so, by what date?

Yours faithfully,

L. A. Jourdan

West Midlands Police and Crime Panel
