Confirmation of investigation into Gary Foster PEO Brighton front office

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Sussex Police should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Sussex Police,

I am aware that Gary Foster is under investigation after a member of the public handed in items of lost property including a large amount of cash in early 2021.

I have not seen any press statement in regards to his posting on light duties or that money has gone missing from the office.

Firstly can you confirm?
Is Gary Foster under investigation?
Why has he been posted to the management suite upstairs whilst this is investigated and not suspended?
Is it correct that this has happened previously with this same member of staff?

Yours faithfully,

Tom

Dear Sussex Police,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Sussex Police's handling of my FOI request 'Confirmation of investigation into Gary Foster PEO Brighton front office'.

I believe that the exemption you have applied refers to some, but not all, of the information I requested.

Therefore I am requesting an internal review of your previous response and, should the exemption be upheld, would be grateful if you could provide the rest of the information.

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

Yours faithfully,

Tom Johnson

Sussex Police

Good morning,

Thank you for your email.
