How many injuries from dog attacks of any breed have there been in your police force area in the calendar year of 2023 and 2024?
How many injuries from dog attacks from XL bullies have there been in your police force area in the calendar year of 2023 and 2024?
The Performance & Analysis Department have provided the following information.
We have searched on the HO code (008/21) and added in the fields for victim injury to filter out blanks and ‘none’ to injury.
We then duplicated this query, adding in key words to the OEL text for ‘xl bull’ ‘x l bull’ ‘bully xl’ which are the standard keywords we’ve been using for XL bully related queries.
We then cross referenced the first query into the second using the lookup function so we could see which of the occurrences contained XL Bully in the keywords.
The first table is all breeds inclusive of XL bullies and the second is *just* XL bullies.
All injuries/any breed:
