Request
Q1. Our request is to provide a statistical figure for the number for calls for service (calls to police from the public) in relation to fox hunting (traditional red coat hunting only if possible).
The time period will be: on or after 01/08/2024 to (including) 31/10/2024.
Q2. Second figure (if possible) is to provide a statistical figure for the number of times police officers attended a call for service for this type of activity.
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 & 2. None.
Please note that fox hunting is not a mandatorily recorded field and therefore this data has been gathered by manually reviewing the 'MO Remarks' field of crimes/incidents recorded using the key words ‘fox’, ‘hunting’ and ‘fox hunting’, to determine whether the reports are relevant to your request.
Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
