Ethnicity recorded on witness statements

The request was refused by West Yorkshire Police.

Dear West Yorkshire Police,

I would like to submit a Freedom of Information request to obtain the following information about the personal details that are recorded by our officers when witnesses complete a witness form (MG11):

1) Please state the number of cases where contact details forms associated with witness statements have the self-defined ethnicity recorded as "NS not stated" and also include a police defined ethnicity code.

2) For the cases in 1), please list the number cases with a break down of the ethnic codes assigned by the police, e.g.

Year 20XX
Number; Ethnicity (identity code)
11 ; IC1
22; IC2
33; IC3
44 ; IC4

and so on....

Please provide data from the last ten years.

Yours faithfully,

M. Nah.
