Dear Public Access,

Upon receiving information from another Constabulary, I would like to amend this FOI in order to keep it within your time limits, and to enable it to be easier for you to work with.
If you use the Home Office Counting Rules, please use 8/72: ‘Sending letters etc with intent to cause anxiety.’ Again, I would like the number of arrests and charges per annum from 2003 to date. I understand that this may not have been a notifiable crime prior to 2015, but I would still like the number of arrests and numbers in custody prior to this time, categorised under this 8/72 counting rule; as well as the crime count for 2015 to date (as well as arrest and charge count – just to clarify).
Please ignore the part of the FOI requesting information on prosecution. I will attempt to request this separately from HMCTS.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Morris

Good Morning,

 

I write with regards to your recent correspondence with ourselves relating
to your FOI requests. Are you able to confirm whether you wish to withdraw
your initial request (HQ/PA 590/19) and continue with the most current
request, or did you wish to continue with both requests separately?

 

Kind Regards

Dear Claire,

If the former request is fully operable under time limits, then I'd prefer that, however, if not, then the FOI as amended (the second) will be fine, thank you.

Yours sincerely,
