You asked
I was just wanting the figures for the amount of prison officers that have been convicted for drug possession under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. If this could be provided it would be greatly appreciated.
We said
Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the requested information relating to prison officers convicted of drug possession.
We publish data relating to crime statistics from two main sources: The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) and crime recorded by the police. Neither of these sources hold data related to your request.
Statistics relating to convictions in England and Wales are the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and they may be able to provide further assistance. They can be contacted at the following email address: ESD@justice.gov.uk.
If you have any other crime-related queries, you can email crimestatistics@ons.gov.uk and we will endeavour to help.
