Police has a small range of devices (including Android) in our wider environment that are not
managed centrally. As such, we are unable to confirm specific operating systems for those devices.
If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, you have the right to ask
the Office of the Ombudsman to seek an investigation and review of my decision.
Yours sincerely,
Keith Miller
