Dear Mr Anderson 
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NUMBER 0186/2010 
 
I refer to your correspondence of 11 March 2010, which was received by Strathclyde Police 
on that date. 
 
Your request for information has now been considered and I can advise you that Strathclyde 
Police does not hold any of the information requested by you.  In terms of Section 17 of the 
Act, this letter represents a formal notice that information is not held. 
 
By way of explanation, the costs associated with conducting individual Police Investigations, 
with the exception of murder enquiries, are not collated.  As you will be aware, your right 
under the Act is to obtain information that is held by a public authority at the time the request 
is received and there is no obligation on a public authority to create new information. 
 
I hope this information is helpful, however, if you are not satisfied with the way in which 
your request has been dealt with, you are entitled in the first instance to request a review of 
the decision made by the Force. Should you wish to request such a review, please write to 
Mrs Sheena Brennan, Disclosure Manager at the above address within 40 working days of 
receiving this letter.  Once informed of the Review Panel’s decision, if you are still not 
satisfied, then you are entitled to apply to the Scottish Information Commissioner within six 
months for a decision.  Contact details are; Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner, 
Kinburn Castle, Doubledykes Road, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9DS, telephone 01334 464610.   
 
I should like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Strathclyde Police.  
Should you require any further assistance concerning this matter please contact me directly on 
0141 435 1262 quoting the reference number given. 
 
 
Yours Sincerely
