Dear Mr Joshua Grainger

 

I refer to your e-mailed Official information Act request of 5 October
2012.

 

The manual you request is called the “Police manual”. The manual is not a
hard copy publication instead it is an electronic database containing
numerous individual chapters of police policy. As per the options for
release detailed in your e-mail I have attached a list of all of the
chapters in the manual and two other types of policy, General
instructions, and Commissioners circulars.

 

Once you have identified what chapters you would like a copy of, please
advise me directly and I will identify what can be released to you.

 

I need to advise you at this stage that if the request is large, a fee may
be imposed as a person will need to taken from other duties to down load
onto a disk each policy as release will be by way of cd disk and
additionally, each policy you request will require review (reading
content) to identify what can and cannot be released. Dependant on the
size of your request this could be very time consuming. If there is to be
a fee I will advise you of the estimated cost and payment may be requested
before the work commences. If the request is reasonable there is likely to
be no fee. Please note that while we have released to you a list of all
the policy topic names, the content of some will not be released and some
would be released with deletions.  

 

As the information will be released via a password accessed disk, I will
need an address for that to be sent to you.

 

I look forward to a response from you.

 

Yours faithfully

Dear Mr Grainger

I can assure you that the password will be supplied to you when the disk is posted. I will send the password to you via e-mail.

If you have an issue with the password protection then I will not apply one. The intention is merely to protect the integrity of the contents of the disk should someone else access it.

I will wait to hear from you once you have decided what information you will request be released.

Yours sincerely

Dear RODGERS, Wayne,

Thank you very much for your very informative reply - I'm rather
surprised by the volume and depth of the different manuals
available. I'm particularly grateful that you've included a list of
general instructions and Commissioner circulars too, as my original
request could be interpretted strictly as to not include these
documents, but they're definitely included in what I'm looking for.

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I was wondering however why the
chapters would have to be delivered via password protected disk. Is
the concern around confidentiality, or just around the size of the
relevant data? If the documents are to be password protected, will
the password to access the documents be supplied at the same time
the data is? (some agencies in the UK have attempted to subvert
their Freedom of Information Act by 'supplying' the relevant
documents in a password protected archive, and then not giving the
password).

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Grainger

Dear RODGERS, Wayne,

Yes, feel free to close this request at the moment. I am thinking
at the moment how to best prioritize what information I want to
ensure that my request is efficient, so I may send a follow up
request in the future.

Oh, and I see that the Police appear to have provided a requested
chapter via email to another requester on the FYI website. Thank
you for this, as email responses are what enables sites like FYI to
function.

Yours sincerely,

Joshua Grainger
