Dear Sir/Madam,
Enquiry Reference: FOI 948 - 24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request, firstly please accept my apology for the delay. Below is your request and our response.
I would like to know how much money has been made by the department from police auctions in the last 5 years broken down by year from 01 January 2019 to 01 October 2024.
2019 - £60210
2020 - £59945
2021 - £51542
2022 - £26380
2023 - £79854.40
2024 - £38978.20
If you could also give me a figure for how much of the total money made during that time is from the auctioning of bicycles that would be much appreciated.
We have auctioned of end-of-life motorcycles that have not been owned by the public and received £9820 in 2021 and £2028.33 in 2024.
Finally, and I appreciate this is subjective and probably outside the remit of an FOI request so discount it if no answer can be given, what is the strangest item that the department has had to put up for auction?
No information held.
Having made enquiries within the Force above is all the information we hold. Once again apologies for the late response.
The Cleveland Police response to your request is unique and it should be noted that Police Forces do not use generic systems or identical procedures to capture and record data therefore responses from Cleveland Police should not be used as a comparison with any other force response you receive.
If you are not satisfied with this response or any actions taken in dealing with your request, you have the right to request an independent internal review of your case under our review procedure. The Freedom of Information Code of Practice (see below link) states that a request for internal review should be made within 20 working days of the date on this response or 40 working days if extenuating circumstances to account for the delay can be evidenced. Public authorities are not obliged to accept internal reviews after this date.
