Dear Mr Jarman,
Reference No: 01/09
Thank you for your request for information regarding;
1) How many former officers of the Surrey Police force are currently in receipt
of an injury award pension, as provided for in the Police Pensions
Regulations 1987 and the Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 2006?
2) Do you operate a policy of reducing an injury award pension to the
lowest permissible band when the former officer reaches the age of 65?
3) In the years 2004 to 2008 inclusive, how many former officers’ injury award
pensions were reduced to the lowest banding upon the former officer
reaching the age of 65? (A total figure only is requested, but I have no
objection if you break the figures down by year)
4) In the years 1987 to 2003 inclusive, how many former officers’ injury award
pensions were reduced to the lowest banding upon the former officer
reaching the age of 65? (A total figure only is requested, but I have no
objection if you break the figures down by year)
5) In the years 2004 to 2008 inclusive, how many formal complaints have
been made against officers of ACPO rank in the Surrey Police force
regarding matters in any way connected with the administration of reviews
of police injury awards? (A total figure only is requested, but I have no
objection if you break the figures down by year)
This request will be dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to
the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party. In
some circumstances we may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is
likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest
opportunity.
There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the
information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20
working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment from you.
If you chose not to make a payment then your request will remain
unanswered. Some requests may also require either full or partial
transference to another public authority in order to answer your query in the
fullest possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
Yours sincerely
Erika Faris
Committee & Member Services Officer
