Kidnaps

The request was partially successful.

Dear West Yorkshire Police,

Please provide a spreadsheet with details of all reported incidents of kidnapping, abduction and related offences (including attempts) over the last three years.

The list should include at least the location of the incident to the finest detail that you can provide, the current status of the report, the age/age range of the alleged victim, and whether the suspect is known to the alleged victim.

If you cannot provide a spreadsheet then an alternative format may be accepted.

Yours faithfully,

Aleksandar Lukic

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for your request for information received by West Yorkshire
Police on 23.10.17.

 

You requested the following information:

 

Please provide a spreadsheet with details of all reported incidents of
kidnapping, abduction and related offences (including attempts) over the
last three years.

 

The list should include at least the location of the incident to the
finest detail that you can provide, the current status of the report, the
age/age range of the alleged victim, and whether the suspect is known to
the alleged victim.

 

Section 17 of the Freedom Of Information Act provides:

 

(1)A public authority which, in relation to any request for information.
Is to any extent relying on a claim that information is ‘exempt
information’ must, within the time for complying with Section 1(1), give
the applicant a notice which:-

 

(a) States the fact,

(b) Specifies the exemption in question, and

(c) States (If that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption
applies.

 

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 obliges us to respond to requests
promptly and in any case no later than 20 working days, after receiving
your request. We must consider firstly whether we can comply with S1 (1)
(a) of the Act, which is our duty to confirm whether or not the
information requested is held and secondly we must comply with S1 (1) (b),
which is the provision of such information. 

 

However, when a qualified exemption applies either to the confirmation or
denial or the information, a public interest test is engaged. The Act
allows the time for response to be longer than 20 working days, if the
balance of such public interest is undetermined.

 

In this case, we have not yet reached a decision on where the balance of
the public interest lies in respect of either of the above obligations by
virtue of the following exemption; Section 30(1)(a) Investigations and
Proceedings Conducted by a Public Authority. We estimate that it will take
an additional 20 working days to make a decision on where this balance
lies. 

 

I would like to apologise in advance for the delay in responding to your
request. Please be assured that we will endeavour to send a response out
to you as soon as possible.

  

If you no longer require the information requested, please contact us on
the details above.

 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

 

 

 

Kind Regards
