Emergency calls received on 16th & 17th August 2023 and 25th July 2023
Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.032317
I note you seek access to the following information:
The combined total number of 999 calls (not to include 101 calls) received across all three police London call centres between the hours of 22:00 and 01:00 on the night of 16/17 August 2023, and the same data for 999 calls received by all three call centres between the hours of 16:00 to 19:00 on 25 July 2023.
Please note I do not require any data other than the raw number of calls. No granular breakdown of call categories is needed; just raw numbers expressed as a combined grand total across a three-hour timespan on each date. That should produce two totals as follows:
• 999 calls received by the three London police call centres between 22:00 and 01:00 on 16/17 August 2023 = XXXX
• 999 calls received by the three London police call centres between 16:00 and 19:00 on 25 July 2023 = XXXX”
