Subject: Freedom of Information request - Freedom of Information Request:
Crime Statistics for Godalming & Ash Constituency

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC) for Reform-UK in
Godalming & Ash, Surrey. I have many constituents who are extremely
concerned about crime rates in our local area.

I am therefore writing to submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request
under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, seeking
information regarding crime statistics for the constituency of Godalming &
Ash in Surrey.

Specifically, I would like to request the following information:

1.      Types of Crimes Reported: Please provide a breakdown of the
different types of crimes reported in the Godalming & Ash constituency for
the past five years, categorized according to the Home Office's crime
classification system.

2.      Crime Rates: Please provide the crime rates (number of reported
crimes per 1,000 residents or any other applicable metric) for the
Godalming & Ash constituency for the past five years

3.      Trends Over Time: I would like information on the trends in crime
rates and types of crimes reported in the Godalming & Ash constituency
over the past five years, including any notable increases or decreases
observed.

4.      Crime-Solving Rates: Please provide data on the percentage of
reported crimes in the Godalming & Ash constituency that have been solved
or otherwise resolved by law enforcement authorities for the past five
years

5.      Domestic Crimes Broken Down by Ethnicity: I am particularly
interested in obtaining data on domestic crimes (e.g., domestic violence,
domestic abuse) reported in the Godalming & Ash constituency, broken down
by ethnicity of the perpetrators, for the past five years

I understand that some information may be subject to exemptions under the
FOI Act. However, I request that you provide as much detail as possible
within the constraints of the law.

Please provide the requested information in electronic format, preferably
in Excel or CSV format, if available.

If there are any fees associated with processing this request, please
inform me in advance of fulfilling the request.

I look forward to your prompt response within the statutory timeframe of
20 working days.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Graham Drage
