FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 324324
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 10th April 2024. Please find below the response to your request:
The number of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) recorded by West Mercia Police in the calendar years:
2022
2023
2024
For each year please provide a breakdown of the number of NCHIs recorded per month.
Also please provide a breakdown of the types of non-crime hate incident (by characteristic) recorded.
Reply
West Mercia Police do hold the information requested.
Please see below response:
Caveat: The crimed incident data (non-crime incident) has been presented in 2 Issue tables. The first table provides the total number of non-crimed hate incidents reported. The second table shows the number of individual hate stands recorded for those incidents. An investigation may have more than one hate element and so the table totals will not match.
