FOI 9892-25 Who wants to be a millionaire

Request to Northamptonshire Police:

I am seeking any documentation, reports, or internal communications held by Northamptonshire Police related to investigations or known activity in relation to the TV Show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, between 1998 and 2014. Including, but not limited to:

The number and details of investigations opened during this period.
Any charges/prosecutions resulting from such investigations.
Any available material, evidence, transcripts of court cases or case summaries regarding this.

Response:

Northamptonshire Police systems are designed primarily for the management of individual cases and not for the production of statistical information for Freedom Of Information responses.

Any information regarding material, evidence and transcripts of court case summaries would be held by the courts.

A keyword search for ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ produced a nil return.

As with any keyword search, the search will only return exact matches. This does not account for differences in terminology and/or spelling used. Keyword searches are problematic and in no way provide accurate results or figures. If the selected key words have not been mentioned the data will not be returned.

The numerical data presented in this response is an un-audited snapshot of un-published data sourced from "live" systems and is subject to the interpretation of the original request by the individual extracting the data.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that the data has been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting the data.

If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data, we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
