Dear Ms Rises

Thank you for you e-mail dated 27 January 2011.
Unfortunately the Authority is unable to provide the data you require
that information rests with the Force.
I have therefore passed a copy of your e-mail to the Force's FOI Officer

Dear Ms Rises

Reference No: RFI2011000070 & RFI2011000071

Thank you for your recent requests for information which have been
aggregated in accordance with Section 12 (4a) of the Freedom of
Information Act for the purpose of costs calculations.

The cost of providing you with the information is above the amount we are
legally required to respond i.e. the cost of locating and retrieving the
information exceeds the "Appropriate Limit" as stated in the Freedom of
Information (Fees and Appropriate Limit) Regulations 2004. Any attempt to
retrieve the information specific to your requests would involve a
complicated and prolonged search of records which would not necessarily
provide accurate or meaningful results and would exceed the appropriate
cost limit of £450.

Section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act allows that public
authorities do not have to comply with section 1(1) of the Act if the cost
of complying would exceed the appropriate limit. It is Thames Valley
Police general policy that should a request for information exceed the
appropriate level then we will exercise our legal right not to respond but
cases will be assessed individually to consider the implications.

In accordance with Section 17 (5) of the Freedom of Information Act, this
letter represents a Refusal Notice for both RFI2011000070 and
RFI2011000071

Please contact me quoting the above reference number if you would like to
discuss this matter further and may I take this opportunity to thank you
for your interest in Thames Valley Police.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Shields

Information Compliance Researcher
