- Reference Number: 2680
- Date released: 08 September 2010
Request
To the freedom of information officer, I would like answers to
the following questions please.
- The number of weapons handed into Cheshire Police in 2009 and
2010, whether as part of amnesties or just in general.
- Break down of what the weapons were, knives, guns, etc... as
specific as possible.
- Where and when the weapons were handed in?
Response
In accordance with section 1 (1) (a) of the Act our response is
provided below;
From our preliminary assessment, we estimate that compliance
with your request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under
section 12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000. This is
currently £450
The property system is a paper based system which is run from 8
property offices within the Constabulary. In any one year there
will be approximately 2500 separate entries in the property
registers in each property office, over 19,000 records. Clearly to
compile the data requested would take a large amount of man hours
well in excess of the FOI limits. Unfortunately I cannot offer a
solution to bring your request within the cost limits.
