Special note for this authority!

• The Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA) is a statutory body, maintained by the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA). The FOISA 2006 Act includes the SPSA as a 'public authority', but only in relation to those police support services it provides. The SCDEA is not a police support service and is therefore not covered by the provisions of FOISA.

  Requests for information about particular activities of the SCDEA will be refused. However, the Agency may respond to reasonable requests for information, although not under the provisions of FOISA legislation, if such information is held.
