Question

Dear Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner,

The Hunting Act 2004.

1) Please provide details of the approximate number of reports you have received of illegal fox hunting by hounds by the various Hunts operational in Northamptonshire since the fox hunting ban of 2004, by year.

2) Please provide the approximate percentage of these reports where officers were dispatched to investigate or these matters were materially investigated.

3) Please provide the number of cases resulting in the prosecution of such Hunts and the success rate of such prosecutions.

Answer

Following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner. However the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC) has been contacted a number of times in relation to hunting in Northamptonshire, however I am unable to ascertain from our records whether this was to report illegal fox hunting as the correspondence has been deleted in line with our document retention policy.

In addition to this, the OPFCC and Northamptonshire Police are two separate legal entities. Information regarding operational policing matters is the responsibility of Northamptonshire Police, therefore the OPFCC does not hold any of the information you have requested. Northamptonshire Police’s Information Unit may hold some of the information you are seeking. If you have not already done so, then you may wish to write to Trina Kightley-Jones, Freedom of Information and Data Protection Team Leader, Information Unit, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ / freedomofinformation@northants.pnn.police.uk

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to: Paul Bullen, Monitoring Officer, Office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner, East House, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ.

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications. If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
