Dear Bedfordshire Police,
Please send an electronic copy of IOPC report 2018/112181 .
Yours faithfully,

Dear Steve Elibank,
I am writing in response to your request for information, received 4th
May.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Gary
Perhaps you misread my request. I did not ask for "information relating to IOPC report 2018/112181". I asked for the report itself. You are obliged to supply this by the FOIA legislation.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Elibank
Dear Steve Elibank,
The IOPC report relating to the reference requested contains personal
information about officers and a member of the public and as such the full
report would not be released and if that was what you requested a Section
40 Personal Information exemption would also be applied. The website link
details the information relating to the IOPC report you have requested.
The officers were not subject of public misconduct proceedings so the
information was not for public release and therefore not in the public
domain.
If you have personally been involved in this incident it may be worth
considering a 'subject access request'. However, you would only receive
information relating to yourself and no other third party detail.
Kind Regards
Gary

Dear Gary,
Having received my expression of dissatisfaction with your response, FOIA good practice says you should refer this matter to a more senior colleague for an internal review.
Such an internal review should take no more than 20 days, and should bear in mind the possibility of redacting personally identifiable information from the report so as to release an anonymous version.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Elibank
Dear Gary,
Given your failure to respond, I am passing this to the ICO.
Yours sincerely,
