Dear C Townsend

 

I am writing in response to your request for information made under the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) for statistics of cannabis related
charges by station location.

 

Attached is a table showing the number of apprehensions resulting in
prosecutions for cannabis related offences broken down by Police Scene
Station for the years ending 31 December 2012 and 2013.

 

The term ‘apprehension’ refers to when police determine who committed an
offence and inform that person of such. For each apprehension, police
record how they dealt with the offender (ie prosecution, warning, etc).
One offender may be apprehended for multiple offences, or multiple
offenders may be apprehended for one offence.

 

I trust this information meets your needs. If you have any questions
please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

Gavin Knight

Manager: Statistics

Police National Headquarters
