Subject: Anti-Muslimism Hate Crimes and Incidents in 2024
Request and Answer:
Request
I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from your police force.
The anti-Muslim hate monitoring service Tell Mama has data sharing agreements with various police forces and provides them with regular, I believe they are quarterly, bulletins on anti-muslim hate crimes and incidents. Please can you provide me with:
A copy of all quarterly* bulletins on anti-muslim hate crimes and incident received by your police force from Tell Mama in the calendar year 2024?
(Please note, I've said quarterly bulletins because, as far as I'm aware, this is how regularly they provide bulletins on anti-muslim hate crime and incidents to police forces. However, please provide all such bulletins provided in 2024 even if they were provided over a different time frame, such as once or twice during the year)
Answer

We do not receive a regular bulletin from Tell Mama. For your information, they publish their bulletins on their website, at the following link: Resources to Counter Anti-Muslim Cases or Islamophobia UK | Tell Mama
Accordingly, we have determined that the Police Service of Northern Ireland does not hold the information to which you seek access.
