Dear Police Scotland,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Police Scotland's handling of my FOI request 'Death of Police Officers whilst under investigation for Misconduct'.

I have sent this request to all Constabularies in the UK and I have received the information requested - I am wondering why you are different? I had no idea that you had had a few "suicides". I only want the numbers, for instance Yorkshire replied with "5". It is a simple request and I disagree that it would distress the families /loved ones of the officers who really want to know.

I am requesting this information as I am looking into the deterioration of the Mental Health of officers under investigation. I have spoken to families of officers who have died who believe that it has been as a direct result of a misconduct investigation. Not providing these details is certainly not being "open and honest" and leads me to believe this is not something you want "published" as it may not show the police in a good light

I will be taking this to the Information Commissioner if the internal review is again a refusal

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

Yours faithfully,

Victoria Harper
