Subject: Official Information request - Reason for strong police presence
Brougham/Garlands

 

Dear Independent Police Conduct Authority,

 

Hope you might advise why the all day presence of police at the protest
site cnr Brougham and Garlands on Saturday 6 December this year.

 

I confess it is only curiosity but it raised a lot of local interest and
concern, which I can allay with your information.

 

My expectation is that there was intelligence on disruption to the rail
line.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Ed Franklin
