Dear Mr Plough

Thank you for your request for information dated the 09 July 2009 and
received by the Freedom of Information Unit on the 10 July 2009 concerning
warrants.

This request will be dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

Your request will now be considered and we aim to provide a response

defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or
containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances Dyfed Powys
Police 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. It
should be noted that the Force is currently facing a backlog of FOI
requests awaiting processing and completion.

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 choose 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

It would be appreciated that if at any time you no longer require a

Dear Mr Plough

FOI REF: 473/2009

On the 9^th of July 2009 you submitted an FOI request(s) to Dyfed-Powys
Police for information regarding Warrants issued for Breach of Probation
Licence Conditions.

First and foremost may I, on behalf of Dyfed-Powys Police, apologise
unreservedly for the non completion to date of your request. In
mitigation, which I appreciate is no excuse, the reasons for the delay
have been due to the volume of requests received, the workload associated
with the requests and the distinct lack of resources to deal with those
issues. However in an effort to eradicate the situation it has been
decided to contact requestors who have not yet received a response to
their original request, with a view to establishing whether or not they
still require Dyfed-Powys Police to continue processing their request.
Naturally if the requestor requires the continued processing of their
request an e-mail to that effect would be appreciated and every effort
will be made to complete that request A.S.A.P. However should you no
longer require the information and would like to withdraw your request
again an e-mail to that effect would be appreciated.

If we do not receive any response regarding this matter from you within 28
days of the date of this correspondence we will assume you no longer
require the processing of your request and will close the request
accordingly.

Once again I can only apologise for the unprecedented demand resulting in
severe delay. Furthermore, steps are being taken to resolve the
situation. Alternatively if you would like to discuss the matter please
do not hesitate to contact me on the telephone number listed below.

Yours sincerely

Liz George
