Climate camp "compendium of information"

David Hansen made this Freedom of Information request to Kent Police

The request was successful.

From: David Hansen

22 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

In a "response" to
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cl...
(actually a response to another enquiry, but I copied the
appropriate bit to the right place) we were told that, "The full
list of items has now been included in the compendium of
information. This is currently undergoing completion and will be
published on our website in the coming weeks." Weeks have now come,
and gone, with no sign of the "compendium of information" on the
Kent Police web site when I looked earlier this morning.

Please provide the estimated date when this "compendium of
information" will be made available. It is now 10 1/2 months since
the Climate Camp and it is clear that Kent Police have a lot to
hide, which no-doubt explains the constant delays in putting up
this "compendium of information".

This is not part of my enquiry, but I bet this "compendium of
information" will not refer to criminal activities by your
officers, of which
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/20...
is the latest example to come to light.

For the avoidance of doubt. please note that "replies" which
involve attachments in proprietary file formats are not acceptable.
A reply which is not in plain text format will be deemed to be a
refusal to answer.

Yours faithfully,

David Hansen

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Kent Police's
handling of my FOI enquiry 'Climate camp "compendium of
information"'. As I expected of this criminal organisation Kent
Police has broken the law yet again by yet again failing to respond
to my enquiry within the maximum time allowed. The promised
"compendium of information" is not available on the web site
either. It is now nearly a year since the illegal activities of
Kent Police at the Climate Camp and it has been clear for a long
time that Kent Police are trying to cover up their illegal
activities and hoping that people will forget all about them.

A full history of my FOI enquiry and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cl...

Yours faithfully,

David Hansen

Dear Mr Hansen,

I am in receipt of your latest communication concerning the Kent Police
Operation to police the camp for Climate Change at Kingsnorth Power
Station in Kent during July and August 2008. I acknowledge that you have
not yet received a reply concerning your request for an internal review of
one of your requests for information and apologise for the continued
delay. I will provide a formal response with regard to this matter within
the next two weeks.

However, in the meantime I am pleased to inform you that Kent Police has
today published upon our website three documents in which you have
expressed an interest, specifically both of the review documents from the
NPIA, and also the Compendium of Information referred to in previous
correspondence.

Regards,

Nigel Amos
Freedom of Information Adviser
Kent Police

David Hansen left an annotation (28 July 2009)

Mr Amos did not provide the URL of the "compendium of information". It is http://www.kent.police.uk/Climate%20Camp...

The contrast between the claims made by the police in public about "facilitating protest" are in marked contrast to the glowing descriptions of "a very effective disruptive tactic towards protesters" and the like made in the internal reports.
