2025/28050 - Reported Dog Attacks 2023 & 2024

REQUEST

1. How many dog attacks were reported to your force throughout the whole of  2023? If possible, can this data be split by month? If not, an      overall annual total is fine.
2. How many dog attacks were reported to your force throughout the whole of       2024? Again, a monthly breakdown would be nice but is not   a dealbreaker.

**08/01/25 requestor requires data on following offence code**:
