Request

I am writing under the Freedom of Information act to request data held on crimes investigated by your force which were flagged as Domestic Abuse (DA) related, their recorded outcome, and if a named suspect's occupation is 'police officer' or related role*, from 1 January 2021 to 30 April 2025. Specifically, I request the following information, broken down by month and outcome. Please break down outcomes by HOCR type i.e. Type 1 Charged/Summonsed, Type 2 Youth Caution, etc. If for whatever reason your systems do not allow the retrieval of this data for the whole period, or doing so would exceed cost limitations, please limit your response to a reasonable time frame by starting with a more recent month. If summarising totals by month is considered too detailed due to small numbers, please break down by year or just the overall total before considering suppressing figures. Please send the response in an Excel spreadsheet. N.b. this request refers to crime investigations, not professional standards/misconduct. * My understanding is that occupation recording is not standardised, therefore I request that you include job titles like 'police officer' / 'serving officer' / 'special constable' / specific job titles if listed i.e. 'police constable' or 'police sergeant' - but do not include civilian titles like 'police staff' or PCSO. I also understand that occupation may not always be recorded (see Q3). Q1) All recorded crime investigations flagged as DA, total broken down by month and outcome type, 2021 to end of April 2025. Grouped by date investigation was opened. Month Outcome type 1 Outcome Type 2 ...etc Ongoing/live Total Q2) Similarly, but for only those investigations where a named suspect has a recorded occupation of police officer* (see definition above), all recorded crime investigations flagged as DA, total broken down by month and outcome type, 2021 to end of April 2025. Grouped by date investigation was opened. Month Outcome type 1 Outcome Type 2 ...etc Ongoing/live Total Q3) If possible and not exceeding cost limitations please also indicate, of the total number of investigations in Q1, ... * The number which have at least one named suspect. * The proportion of linked suspects who have any occupation recorded. If it is not possible for another reason to provide the information requested, please provide advice and assistance as to how I can refine my request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to clarify.
