Dear Sir or Madam,
so if the police force are not employed by any company then does
this mean that their listing on certain financial data bases means
that they are actually a run for profit business?

Yours sincerely,

mark-william:baker

Dear Mr Baker

I am responding in relation to the Police Authority which I presume your request refers to.

The police authority is not a run for profit business.

The Police Authority is funded through the democratic process from Government grants and council tax, however we have a duty to earn what income we can particularly on treasury management and investment of temporarily surplus funds.

Yours sincerely

Eleanor Tanner
For Devon & Cornwall Police Authority

Dear Sir or Madam,
so surely if your investing surplus funds then that is making a
profit which means that it is actually run for profit does it not?

Yours sincerely,

mark-william:baker

The Authority and Force are not run for profit. We do make some income but that is to help policing and council tax payers. It is not our primary purpose.

Kind regards,
Eleanor Tanner

Dear Sir or Madam,
income as i think you will find as labelled by the revenue agency
is profit so no matter how many ways you wish to look at this you
are still making profit to benifit yourselves aka your a
business,company or corporation.

Yours sincerely,

mark-william:baker
