FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 75022
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 22nd April 2021. Please find below the response to your request:
I sent an FoI on the 17/03/2021 to all police forces in England and Wales asking the following:
How many incidents of drink-spiking were recorded by your force in 2020?
Please search for this data by means of keyword searches of MO codes, using the terms 'spike', 'spiking', 'drink-spike', 'drink spiked', 'spiked drink', while checking to make sure that they don't refer to some other context (e.g. 'a spiked fence' or 'spiked hair').
Finally, can you please attach the first five MO codes from January 2019 for drink spiking-related offences? I accept redactions may need to be made to remove personal inform
The part I've highlighted yellow above was a typo. I meant to ask for the first five MO codes from January 2020.
If you've already responded with the data from January 2019, would you please process this as a new FoI and provide me with this last part when possible? Apologies!
A few respondents provided me with the information from 2020 in spite of my typo. Please ignore this updated FoI if that is the case for your force.
