Please see the attached information in relation to categories 1 and 2.

Table 1 shows the numbers of offenders proceeded against for the
‘Possession of Illicit Drugs’ offences for the period from 1 April 2014 to
31 March 2019 broken down by method of proceeding, offender ethnicity and
12 month period.

Table 2 shows the numbers of offenders proceeded against for ‘Dealing or
Trafficking in Illicit Drugs’ and the ‘Manufacture of Illicit Drugs’
offences for the period from 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2019 broken down by
method of proceeding, offender ethnicity and 12 month period.

In relation to categories 3 and 4 of your request, Police does not hold
this information. With a view to possibly transferring these parts of your

that they also do not hold the information you are requesting. I must
therefore refuse your request pursuant to section 18(g) of the OIA as the
information is not held by Police and we have no reason to believe it is
held by another agency.

I trustthis information is sufficient for your purposes. If you have any
questions regarding this data, please feel free to contact me via

If youare not satisfied with my response to your request you have the
right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman and seek an investigation
