Request
I would like the following information relating to incidents involving disruptive airline passengers, recorded by your police force over the past 10 years:
1. The total number of recorded incidents under the following Home Office codes:
094/12
094/13
094/14
094/15
For the past 7 years (i.e. 2018 - 2024), broken down on a year-by-year basis to account for any variations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Of those incidents, the number in which alcohol was identified or flagged as a contributing factor, again broken down annually.
3. The number of those incidents which resulted in arrests, presented year by year.
This request specifically relates to incidents at airports or onboard aircrafts within your jurisdiction, or otherwise handled by your force under aviation or public order legislation.
Response
I approached our Performance Review Unit for assistance with your request. An analyst within this unit has conducted a search of our Crime Management System - Connect which records complaints or allegations of those matters, which the Home Office specify should be recorded as 'crimes'. All our systems are designed and used first and foremost for Policing Purposes and have limited search capability. They provided me with the below data in response and the following explanation regarding their search criteria:
