Correspondence regarding Knife Crime

  • Reference Number: 1809
  • Date released: 20 April 2009

Request

I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for copies of correspondence since May 1, 2008, including letters, emails, faxes and similar, between the Chief Constable, DCC, and ACCs to any representatives of the Home Office or Ministry of Justice making specific reference to knife crime.

This request covers correspondence where the chief subject matter discussed is the issue of knife crime, incidents of knife crime in the force area, measures to tackle knife, or knife crime sentencing. I understand that this is a broad request, but am hoping that any filing system or records of correspondence on this subject will allow retrieval of correspondence between the force and government.

There is no information held.

Following a search there are no records of any correspondence relating to knife crime from any of the Chief Officers to anybody at the Home Office or Ministry of Justice.
