FOI T094/25 - Arrests By Nationality
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.
- 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.
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Corporate Development Department of Northumbria Police. We can confirm that the information you have requested is held in part by Northumbria Police.
We are able to disclose the located information to you as per the attached pdf document, however the below caveats should be noted:
- We hold no information prior to 2019, and our response reflects this.
- The data supplied is based on the nationality provided by the suspect upon arrest. We are unable to confirm if they were born in the country provided.
- Please note that we would not know if a person had dual nationality, this information is not recorded.
