FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 423371
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 24th July 2025. Please find below the response to your request:
How many community resolution orders have been issued for each of the last three years?
Please can a breakdown of the offences committed be given? If going into detail is too time-consuming for an FOI request then please use categories. Ie, indecent exposure could become sexual offences, or ABH to violent crime.
Does the force hold information of the nationality or asylum status of people handed community resolution orders? If so please provide the number of asylum seekers handed resolution orders for each year / a nationality breakdown for each year.
If nationality or asylum status information is held, please also include what offences have been committed by asylum seekers or by nationality. Eg sexual offences, violent crimes.

West Mercia Police hold most of the information requested.
