Please provide the following information for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025, broken down by calendar year. 1. The total number of spiking incidents reported to your force. Please include both recorded crimes and non-crime incidents, and show these separately if possible. 2. Of these, the number administered via vape or e-cigarette. 3. Of these, the number where the substance involved was recorded or confirmed (for example, by toxicology), broken down by: prescription or over-the-counter medicines, other drugs, and substances not recorded or unknown. 4. The number of the incidents in question 1 that resulted in a charge or summons. For this request, "spiking" means any incident recorded using your force's spiking flag, marker or qualifier, or recorded under an offence of administering a substance without consent. If complying with the full request would exceed the cost limit, please prioritise questions 1 and 2, and advise me under section 16 how the request could be narrowed. I'd be grateful to receive the data in a spreadsheet format (Excel or CSV) if possible.

I am writing to request information from your force on spiking incidents. Please provide me with the following information: 1. The number of spiking-related offences recorded by your force in the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. For 2026, please provide me with data up to September (1 January 2026 to 1 September 2026), or if data is not held up to 1 September, the most recent available data. Please break this data down by year and, if possible, by month. 1. For each year, please also provide me a summary of the outcome of each offence (e.g., in 2026, 100 offences led to a charge, 200 led to a caution, etc.). 1. If this falls within the time/cost limit, please provide me with information on the nature of spiking incidents in each year, offering a description of what was spiked (for example, in 2026, 100 offences involved vape spiking; 60 involved spiking of prescription medication; 200 involved spiking of drinks; etc. I appreciate the descriptive categories held by your force may be different - these are simply illustrative examples. But if the offences can be categorised in any way to clarify what item was spiked, that'd be great). For your reference, the Met Police appears to collate data in this way: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqzez9p7wd0ro Please treat each question as a separate request - hence, if one question is subject to an exemption, please do not disregard the remaining questions.

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request information about speeding offences detected by City of London Police during the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025. For each of the following posted speed limits - 20 mph, 30 mph, 40 mph, 50 mph, 60 mph and 70 mph - please provide: 1. The lowest vehicle speed recorded at which enforcement action was taken for exceeding that particular speed limit. 1. The corresponding speed limit and recorded speed (for example, 31 mph in a 30 mph limit). 1. The number of such cases, if more than one vehicle was recorded at the lowest speed. 1. The type of enforcement action taken in each case, for example: * Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP); * Fixed Penalty Notice; * speed awareness course; * summons/prosecution; or * other formal enforcement action. 1. Where available, the method by which the offence was detected (for example, fixed camera, average-speed camera, mobile camera or police officer). I am specifically interested in the lowest actual recorded speeds at which enforcement action was taken, rather than the force's normal enforcement threshold or the NPCC recommended enforcement threshold. For example, if a driver was formally penalised or prosecuted for travelling at 31 mph in a 30 mph limit, I would like this to be included. If your records distinguish between the speed recorded by the enforcement device and the speed used for enforcement after any applicable adjustment, please provide both figures.
