Prior to introduction of the Police Real Time On Line Management System (PROMIS), data relating to drug offences was stored on the Drug Offence Reporting System (DORS). DORS did not record offence details by drug type nor did it record cautions. DORS did not record summonses and arrests separately.
The following aggregate level information can be provided in response to question 2 (i,ii&iv).
