Freedom of Information

A great deal of information about the work of the Police Authority is already published and available in various formats. Our Publication Scheme (see below) outlines what information is readily available from us without your needing to ask us for it. By readily available we mean that the information is available on our website; can be obtained from us if you request it by letter, e-mail or telephone call; can be purchased from us; or can be found in a local library.

Part 2 of our Publication Scheme sets out the classes or types of information that we publish or intend to publish. Part 3 lists a number of the publications that support the Publication Scheme. It lists specific publications we make available, how they can be obtained and whether they are free or if we will ask you to pay a charge.
