FOI 14917 response
Having completed enquiries within Essex Police in respect of Section 1(1)(a), Essex Police does hold information relating to your request, however, the obligation of Section 1(1)(b) cannot be met as Essex Police does not hold all the information requested in a format that allows it to be retrieved within the time and cost limits of FOI.
When responding to a request for information under the terms of the FOIA, a public authority is not obliged to provide information if the authority estimates that the cost of the retrieval of the information requested would be in excess of £450 (equivalent to 18 hours work). The costs criteria relate to a request in its entirety, which means that if we cannot retrieve all of the information requested within the costs limit, we are not obliged to retrieve any of the information requested.
Section 12(1) of the FOIA states that a public authority is not obliged to:
“…comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit.”
The following explanation outlines the difficulty Essex Police has in answering your request:
Essex Police are unable to accurately extract data in relation to Q1 & Q2 as we were unable to distinguish in the data, the difference between a mobility scooter and an e-scooter. They are both recorded as electric scooters and we get far more reports about the mobility vehicles than we do about the more modern e-scooter types. Therefore, we would need to manually review each record and extract the data manually for the answers. Essex Police systems are designed primarily for the management of individual cases and not primarily for the production of statistical information. This process would exceed the time and cost limits under the FOIA and would also qualify as the creation of data as the results cannot be processed by means of purely sorting or filtering data sources or running a database query tool. There is no requirement under the act to create data purely to answer FOI requests.
Consequently, and to this extent, Essex Police are exempt from the duty to provide information you have requested under the provisions of Section 12(1) of the FOIA. Therefore, and in accordance with Section 17(1) of the FOIA, this communication must act as a refusal notice to provide all of the information that could be interpreted as being captured by this part of your request.

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties on public authorities. Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section 1(1)(a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is held. The second duty at Section 1(1)(b) is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held. Where exemptions are relied upon Section 17 of FOIA requires that we provide the applicant with a notice which: a) states that fact b) specifies the exemption(s) in question and c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.

Section 12(1) of the FOIA states that a public authority is not obliged to:
“…comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit.”
The following explanation outlines the difficulty Essex Police has in answering your request:
Essex Police are unable to accurately extract the level of detail in relation to question 1 as there is no specific code for electric scooters and we cannot differentiate between a motor vehicle or scooter for offences. Essex Police systems are designed primarily for the management of individual cases and not primarily for the production of statistical information for FOI responses. This request would entail manually extracting all records reviewing each record where a fixed penalty notices was issued one by one to establish if vehicle concerned was an e-scooter which may or may not be included in the record notes. This process would exceed the time and cost limits under the FOIA and would also qualify as the creation of data as the results cannot be processed by means of purely sorting or filtering data sources or running a database query tool. There is no requirement under the act to create data purely to answer FOI requests.
Consequently, and to this extent, Essex Police are exempt from the duty to provide information you have requested under the provisions of Section 12(1) of the FOIA. Therefore, and in accordance with Section 17(1) of the FOIA, this communication must act as a refusal notice to provide all of the information that could be interpreted as being captured by this part of your request.
Having said that and in an effort to assist, although excess cost removes the force’s obligations under the FOIA, Essex Police can provide answers for the following:
2. The number of e-scooters confiscated so far in 2020.
There have been 19 seizures thus far.
4. The number of incidents of drink driving offences so far in 2020 where the vehicle involved was an e-scooter.
5. The number of incidents of careless or dangerous driving offences so far in 2020 where the vehicle involved was an e-scooter.
Please note:
Drink driving and careless/dangerous driving are non-notifiable crimes and as such are not recorded on Essex Police’s crime system. Therefore, the results are obtained from the Custody and Arrest system.
The field searched was reason for arrest and returned anything where an e-scooter was mentioned in the report. Please note as you can be arrested for multiple reasons the table shows a unique ID and the offence descriptions associated with it.
The date period was from 1 January to 17 November 2020.
The table below shows the number of driving offence the person (ID) was arrested for in each instance. As can be seen ID 1 was arrested for 1 offence, ID 2 was arrested for 4 offences. Etc

Section 16(1) of the FOIA provides that a public authority is required to provide advice and assistance, Essex Police can confirm that we can produce data, however, it will not be reflective as we cannot differentiate between a mobility scooter and an e-scooter.
Thank you for your interest in Essex Police and we are sorry that we have not been able to provide the information you have requested on this occasion. If you do require further information a new request will need to be submitted and the request will be dealt with accordingly.

Having completed enquiries within Essex Police in respect of Section 1(1)(a), Essex Police does hold information relating to your request. Under Section 1(1)(b) the below (and/or attached excel) has been provided in relation to your request: This data is correct as at 4th March 2021.
Notes:
The relevant crime records have been obtained from the Athena Crime Universe. The incident records have come from the STORM Universe.
There is a big difference between the total electric scooter related crimes and incidents recorded in 2019 compared to 2020. In 2020, much higher numbers of electric scooter related crime records and incident records are available possibly because crimes and incidents involving an electric scooter were recorded accurately on the Athena and STORM Universe systems. In 2019, it is quite likely most electric-scooter related records were just recorded as ‘scooter crimes / incidents’ instead of ‘electric scooter crimes / incidents.’ Hence, the actual number of electric scooter crimes and incidents in 2019 is likely to be much higher than the figures given below.
E-Scooter Crimes:
The relevant records were gained from the Athena Crime Universe.
All the relevant crime records were filtered out by specifying the ‘Initial Modus Operandi’ data field as having a MATCHES PATTERN to be either an ‘E-SCOOTER’ or an ‘Electric Scooter.’
All the Athena Crime records are recorded as crimes, none of them are non-crimes.
E-Scooter Incidents:
The relevant records were gathered from the STORM Universe.
The final call type data field was used to highlight the summary details for all the STORM incidents.
All the relevant incident records were filtered out by specifying the ‘Incident Comments’ data field as having a MATCHES PATTERN to be either an ‘E-SCOOTER’ or an ‘Electric Scooter.’
Dates: 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2020
Dates: 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019
A total of 100 crimes were recorded by Essex police force between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2020 in which the initial incident detail mentions the word ‘e-scooter’ or ‘electric scooter’. The breakdown of these crime records, by month, offence recorded, investigation outcome and crime summary, are shown in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 below:
