I note you seek access to the following information:
I am writing to request the number of repeat offenders your force dealt with between 2018 and 2023 (1 January 2018 - 31 December 2023). Repeat offenders are defined as those who in any one year received a caution (for adults), a final warning or reprimand (for juveniles), a non-custodial conviction, or were discharged from custody.
I wrote to you in March 2024 to explain that we would only be able to tell if a person has been arrested more than once and taken to a MPS Custody suite, we would be unable to show if a person had been arrested and taken to other custody suites as well as MPS suites.
You responded in March 2024 to say please provide the data on the number of individuals who have been arrested more than once and taken to an MPS Custody Suite.
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
Between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2023 there were 129,761 persons who were arrested more than once.
