Under the Freedom of Information Act we are required to reply within 20
working days.  The Act does not specify a limit to the number of
information requests a public authority may receive or the number of
requests or questions an applicant may submit.  However, there are
exemptions in the Act that can apply and these include where the cost of
complying with the request would extend beyond the reasonable cost limit,
(currently 18 hours or £450), or if the request is otherwise manifestly
unreasonable in its scope or nature. 

 

Requests that ask a great many questions, or a number of detailed requests
submitted at the same time, may make it necessary for Essex Police to
refuse the requests wholly or in part.  The exemption at Section 14 may be
engaged if the burden on the authority is increased through multiple
requests on differing subjects.

 

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has responsibility for
providing oversight and guidance for the legislation and they have
produced advice for applicants on submitting effective requests.  Further
information can be found on the Commissioner’s website at

Thank you for your enquiry which has been logged under the above
reference.

 

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities.  Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section
1(1)(a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a
request is held.  The second duty at Section 1(1)(b) is to disclose
information that has been confirmed as being held.  Where exemptions are
relied upon Section 17 of FOIA requires that we provide the applicant with
a notice which: a) states that fact b) specifies the exemption(s) in
question and c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the
exemption applies.

 

In respect of your enquiry:

 

I wish to make a Freedom of Information request regarding the software
used to monitor a Sex Offenders internet activity.

 

Could you please outline:

 

1. The name and provider of any software installed on a Sex Offenders
internet device by Essex Police to monitor the activity of the Offender
online

2. The scope of such software

3. What information it collects

4. How the information is collected and stored

5. Who has access to this information

6. The retention period for the information that is collected

7. Relevant legislation authorising Essex Police to install such software
on an Offenders device

8. The rights of the offender to remove this software from their device

9. How this information is used to manage the Offenders risk of
reoffending

 

Having completed enquiries within Essex Police in respect of Section
1(1)(a), Essex Police does hold information relating to your request,
Essex Police can confirm in respect of Section 1(1)(b) the following data:

 

Caveat:  The data is correct as at 02 September 2021.

 

1. The name and provider of any software installed on a Sex Offenders
internet device by Essex Police to monitor the activity of the Offender
online.

Essex Police currently use ESAFE.

 

7. Relevant legislation authorising Essex Police to install such software
on an Offenders device.

Monitoring software will be installed by the Police where there is a
prohibition contained on a Court Order such as a Sexual Harm Prevention
Order.  The prohibition imposes upon the offender that they either must
have monitoring software (normally at their own expense) or the Police can
direct that monitoring software can be installed.  The wording may differ
for each order. Offenders may also volunteer to have the software
installed.

 

8. The rights of the offender to remove this software from their device.

This is dependent on the Court Order.  If the software is installed as a
direct result of an order it is likely that there will be a prohibition
restricting the deletion, removal, bypassing or interference of such
software.

 

9. How this information is used to manage the Offenders risk of
reoffending.

Please provide clarification as the scope of this question is too vast to
answer.  On a general note, Police will assess behaviour taking into
account individual risk assessments.

 

In relation to Questions 2 to 6, no further information will be provided
by virtue of the following exemption:

 

Section 31(1)(a)(b) – Law Enforcement

 

Overall Harm

As you will be aware, any release under the FOIA is a disclosure to the
world, not just to the individual making the request.  Whilst not
questioning the motives of the applicant, the disclosure of specific
detail about the software used, for example the scope of the software
(i.e. functionalities and artefacts to be delivered as a part of the
software) what it collects, how it is collected would place into the
public domain information that could be used by offenders to circumvent
the system and evade detection.

 

Public Interest Considerations

 

Factors favouring disclosure of information for Section 31

The public are entitled to know how public funds are spent and by
disclosing this information the public would be able to see where public
money is being spent and know that Essex Police are doing as much as they
can to monitor Registered Sex Offenders.

 

Factors against disclosure of information Section 31

Essex Police has a duty of care to the community at large and public
safety is of paramount importance.  If an FOI disclosure were to reveal
information to the world, it would not only compromise and undermine the
Police’s ability to prevent and detect crime and apprehend offenders, but
also the effective delivery of operational law enforcement as offenders,
could use this knowledge to their advantage which would compromise public
safety and more worryingly encourage offenders to carry our further
crimes.

 

There is also the potential that providing technical specifications could
leave programmes vulnerable to cyberattack.

 

Balancing Test

The points above highlight the merits of not disclosing information
pertinent to this request.  The Police Service is charged with enforcing
the law, preventing and detecting crime and protecting the communities we
serve. 

 

Whilst there is a strong public interest in the transparency of policing
technology, Essex Police will not divulge information if it is likely that
it will compromise the work of the Police Service or place members of the
public at risk.  Disclosure of the requested information would highlight
areas that could be exploited by criminal organisations and individuals.

 

This will adversely affect Essex Police’s ability to detect and prevent
crime, as it may alter the behaviours of those intent on criminal
activity.  This in itself could put members of the public at risk and
hinder law enforcement.  It is, therefore, our belief that the balance
test lies in favour of not disclosing the information.

 

Please note the above request will be included within our [3]Publication
Scheme.  Further information regarding [4]Registered Sex Offenders can be
found through our Publication Scheme.
