I write in connection with your request for information that was received by the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire (OPFCC) on 24^th May 2020. Please accept our sincere and unreserved apologies for the delay in providing you with a response.

I note you seek access to the following information:

If you do not categorise such sites, please consider (2) in place of (1).
If you do categorise such sites, please disregard (2). 

(2) The number of attempts to access the below URLs from computers and other devices connected to your internet network: pornhub.com, xhamster.com , redtube.com, eporner.com, porn.com, chaturbate.com and youporn.com, in each of the last three years, broken down by successful and unsuccessful attempts to visit those websites.

Extent and Result of Searches to Locate Information

To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within the OPFCC.

I wish to advise you that there is no information held by the OPFCC in order to answer your request.

This is because the OPFCC IT systems are not managed internally within the OPFCC.

Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data.  It should be noted therefore that the OPFCC’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
