TV Licensing Employees Criminal Convictions and Police Cautions

The request was successful.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I am making this request for information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I am interested in TV Licensing employees that have committed criminal offences in the course of their duties with TV Licensing. By TV Licensing employees I mean any person employed by the BBC or any of the TV Licensing contracted companies acting on the BBC's behalf as the statutory Television Licensing Authority.

Background information:
I have previously made two similar requests, RFI20110731 & RFI20111165, but given passage of time it is likely that more recent relevant information is held by the BBC.

My request:
Please provide me with the following information:
1. The number of TV Licensing employees that have been convicted of criminal offences committed during the course of their TV Licensing duties since the date of my previous request (24 September 2011).
2. In relation to those convictions disclosed in response to question 1: Also provide details of the offences they were convicted of, their dates of employment with TV Licensing and the geographic location (county, town or city) they were based.
3. The number of TV Licensing employees that have received a formal police caution for criminal offences committed during the couse of their TV Licensing duties since the date of my previous request (24 September 2011).
4. In relation to those formal police cautions disclosed in response to question 3: Also provide details of the offences they were cautioned for, their dates of employment with TV Licensing and the geographic location (county, town or city) they were based.

I remind the BBC that the acceptance of a formal police caution is acknowledgement by the employee that a criminal offence has been committed.

I look forward to a candid and complete disclosure in accordance with the spirit of the Act.

Yours faithfully,
