Cannabis seizures by States of Jersey Police

​​Request 768447417 

I would like to request a statistical breakdown on the number of illegal cannabis seizures (herbal and resin) made by States of Jersey Police from 1st January 2019 to the date of this request.
I request that the data be broken down by:

1. Year (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 year-to-date).
2. Number of seizures made domestically/internally.
3. Weight: The total weight of cannabis seized per year.
4. Count: The total number of individual seizure incidents per year. 

Response 

1., 2., 4.  Please see Table (1) for a yearly breakdown.

3. To provide a response would require a manual inspection of each crime. Even allowing just 2 minutes per case would take considerably more than 12.5 hours, and thus Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied. 

Article Applied 

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive 

(1)     A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.

(2)     Despite paragraph (1), a scheduled public authority may still supply the information requested on payment to it of a fee determined by the authority in the manner prescribed by Regulations for the purposes of this Article.

(3)     Regulations may provide that, in such circumstances as the Regulations prescribe, if two or more requests for information are made to a scheduled public authority –

(a)     by one person; or

(b)     by different persons who appear to the scheduled public authority to be acting in concert or in pursuance of a campaign, the estimated cost of complying with any of the requests is to be taken to be the estimated total cost of complying with all of them.​
