Caveats:
All data is shown up to the current year of January 2022, as the current period of
Winter Wonderland (November 2022) will not give a true comparison.
There was no Winter Wonderland event in 2020/21.
The Reported Day was used to determine which day the offence was reported.
REQUEST 3:
Please could you also advise me on how many police officers were tasked with Winter Wonderland Aid each day on Monday-Saturday in comparison with Sundays at Winter Wonderland or between 18/11 - 02/01 at Hyde Park from 2018-present year.
The deployment for Winter Wonderland is as follows:
- Monday – Thursday: 0 Inspector, 1 Sergeant, 4 PC’s
- Friday – Sunday: 1 Inspector, 2 Sergeant, 12 PC’s
- This has been the case since 2018. (Although in 2018 and 2019 there was one officer deployed to the Event Control room on Friday – Sunday with one dedicated operator in GT. This was reviewed and removed in 2021 and has not been re-instated for this year’s event.)
- There was no event in 2020
