I note you seek access to the following information:
Please provide data for the past 10 years on 'Possession' and 'Possession with intent to supply' analysed by age and ethnicity.
SEEKING CLARIFICATION
I emailed you to seek further clarification in order to advance the request. I stated ‘You have asked for data on 'Possession', could you please clarify if you are referring to possession of drugs, weapons or both. Secondly, could you please provide a specific date range for this request.’ You replied the same day with the following:
1. Possession relating to both drugs and weapons
2. Either Calendar Years 01/01/2011 to 12/12/2021 or Fiscal years 01/04/2011 to 30/03/2022, whichever is available.
I emailed you once again to clarify the following point, ‘could you please confirm if you want people proceeded against for possession crimes, suspects of possession crimes or victims of possession crimes?’ You replied the same day with the following response ‘All three please.’
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
