Re: Request for Information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible.
Background information
I am interested in obtaining comparative data on the number of actual firearms officers – excluding those only trained in the use of tasers - deployed across each police force in the UK annually over a specified historical period, as well as comparable data on the number of officers more generally trained to use firearms across each police force in the UK.
I appreciate that the issue of police use of firearms, or their potential use, can be a sensitive subject. However, I am only interested in entirely anonymised data in respect of this request – and I do not wish to receive any personal information or information sensitive to any particular police investigation or response plan - during the course of this request.
Freedom of Information request
I am interested in four basic and anonymous data sets. With this in mind, I would like to receive the following…
a) The number of incidents of firearms use (excluding those only involving tasers) by officers across your police force for each of the past eight years (that is, since and including 2007/08).
b) The number of firearms officers (excluding those only trained on tasers) actually deployed across your police force for each of the past eight years (since and including 2007/08)
c) The number of firearms officers trained to use firearms (excluding those only trained to use tasers) across your police force for each of the past eight years (since and including 2007/08).
d) Information, should it exist, on any official figures for the number of trained firearms officers that your police force would like to achieve (excluding taser-only training) in the future.
I would be interested in any information held by your organisation regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify particular files or documents and that it is the department’s responsibility to provide the information that I require.
