Original request
I would like to request data on the number of arrests made in your PFA, by nationality and – if possible – type of offence.
Q1. Please provide the number of arrests for the following nationality groups: UK/Ireland; EEA; Non-EEA.
Q2. In addition to providing a figure for all types of offence, please provide figures for the following categories, if possible: violence; theft; robbery; drugs; sexual offences; fraud; other.
Please provide this information for the year to June 2024.
Clarification
Just to clarify my request, please provide figures for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
Also, would it be possible to provide figures for individual nationalities (rather than UK/Ireland; EEA; non-EEA, as originally requested)? This is to avoid inconsistencies with the information provided by other police forces. If you cannot provide info for each individual nationality, UK, Ireland, EEA, and non-EEA would also work.
Finally, if somebody has dual nationality where one nationality is UK, please either note this or include them in the UK category.
Extent and Result of Searches to Locate Information
To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within North Yorkshire Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by North Yorkshire Police.
Decision
I have today decided to disclose the following information to you.
Q1. Please see the table below showing the number of arrests between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024, broken down by offender nationality.
Please note that I have provided a custody count on the number of individuals arrested (as individuals can be arrested for more than one offence).
