FOI 23/24 – 6: COPA

FOI Request

Since the launch of the COPA to the date of the reply, can you please advise:

1. How many incidents have been reported to Cleveland Police via the COPA App?
2. A breakdown of the number of reports for each category?
3. The number of incidents where further action has been taken rather than simply being recorded as a statistic?
4. The number of incidents in Ingleby Barwick (TS17 0 or TS17 5 postcodes) reported via the COPA app?
5. The number of the reported incidents in Ingleby Barwick where further action has been taken rather than simply being used as a statistic?

OPCC Response

1. 1710
2. Antisocial behaviour – 638
   Vehicle speeding – 50
   Drug reports – 345
   Vehicle antisocial behaviour – 365
   Hate incident – 8
   Suspicious behaviour – 117
   Questions – 187
3. We are able to provide information about how the OPCC handled the reports made via COPA. To find out what operational policing activity occurred once reports were passed to Cleveland Police, you would need to request this via their FOI team.
   • Passed to Cleveland Police Control Room to be logged as a call – 1502
   • Resolved by OPCC – 201
   • Passed to PCC’s Resolution Team to be logged as a complaint – 7
4. Ingleby Barwick West: 44
   Ingleby Barwick East: 28
5. The information held by the OPCC about what happens to COPA reports cannot be broken down into ward level and therefore we do not hold this information.
   • Similar to Q3, to find out what operational policing activity occurred once reports were passed to Cleveland Police, you would need to request this via their FOI team.
