First Names of People Charged with Crimes in Warwickshire

The request was partially successful.

Dear Warwickshire Police,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the first names of anyone charged with a crime within the 2019/2020 financial year. Specifically, I would like the first, given name of people charged within your police force area during this time period. I understand that some names may be unique so may risk identifying individuals, so I am happy for those names to be omitted.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or require further clarification.

Yours faithfully,

Katie Swann
