I would like to request data on the number of arrests your police force has made in the calendar years 2015 to 2024, by nationality group and type of offence.

Part 1

Please provide the total number of arrests for British and foreign nationals in each calendar year. Where somebody has dual citizenship, please count them as a British national.

For example, one cell in the response would be the number of foreign nationals arrested in calendar year 2019.

If possible, please also provide figures on arrests of British and foreign nationals broken down by the following offence types: violence; theft; robbery; drugs; sexual offences; fraud; immigration offences; other.

For example, one cell in the response would be the number of foreign nationals arrested for theft offences in the calendar year 2022.
