Hampshire Constabulary
6 November 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested from the Hampshire Constabulary (the Constabulary) information regarding the number of stop and searches conducted by the police force on people aged under 18 for each financial year from 2009 to 2015. The complainant did not dispute the Constabulary’s response that the information related to 2009/10 and 2010/11 was not held and that the application of section 21(1) (information reasonably accessible by other means) with regard to financial years 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 was appropriate. Accordingly the Commissioner only investigated the application of section 21(1) to the information in relation to the financial year for 2014/15. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Constabulary incorrectly applied section 21(1) in this case.
