Thank you for your email, which has been received by me and will be dealt
with as soon as possible.

 

If you have not already included this information, I would be grateful if
you could reply to this with your address, telephone number, and any crime
or incident reference numbers that are relevant to your case.

 

As the PCC, there are certain things that I can and cannot become involved
in. I set Kent Police's county-wide priorities and hold the Chief
Constable to account for delivering them. I decide the council tax precept
and determine the overall Police budget. I also commission services for
victims and Crime prevention.

 

I am not responsible for operational matters, such as Police complaints
(except those against the Chief Constable) or deployment of Officers, for
example, so your email may be referred to Kent Police or another body.

 

You should not e-mail the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner in
an emergency.  When life is in danger or a crime is in progress, always
call 999.

 

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact me and I will respond
in due course.

 

Kind regards 

 

Matthew Scott

Kent Police and Crime Commissioner

PCC Correspondence Kent,

1 Attachment

Dear Mr Chapman

 

Thank you for the Freedom of Information Request (FoIR) you recently sent
to the Office of the Kent Police & Crime Commissioner (OKPCC).   

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act (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. 

 

·         Section 17 of the FoIA requires that where exemptions are relied
upon, we provide the applicant with a notice which:

o   states that fact

o   specifies the exemption(s) in question and

o   states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption
applies.

Please see your request below in bold, and the response provided within
the text of this e-mail. 

 

Please provide the register of premises or land owned by, or occupied for
the purposes of, the office of Police and Crime Commissioner, and the
functions of their force, for the financial year 2017/18.

 

Entries listed should be broken down by local policing directorate (or
borough), and indicate whether it is:

 

Police building

Other building/land

Neighbourhood office

Other

 

 

The Kent & Essex Support Services Directorate based within Kent Police
primarily manage the information for the Asset Register and therefore the
Police and Crime Commissioner’s Office does not currently hold the
information you seek.

 

However, to assist, the [1]Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified
Information) Order 2011 requires that the identity of any premises or land
owned by, or occupied for the purposes of, the elected local policing body
be published.  You will currently find the Asset Register for Land and
Buildings as of March 2017 [2]here. 

 

This Register however does not cover the information that you seek in
respect of the financial year 2017/18.  You could contact Kent Police who
may hold the information, and guidance about how to do this can be found
[3]here.   Prior to doing so, you should however note that while the FoIA
gives a general right of access to information, there are a number of
exemptions to disclosure.  This includes Section 22 – Information intended
for future publication.   

Under the FoIA, if you feel your request has not been properly handled or
you are otherwise dissatisfied with the outcome of your request, you have
the right to appeal. This would be to this Office in the first instance.
You can do this by e-mail or by post to the address at the foot of this
communication. We will then conduct an internal review to investigate the
matter and endeavour to reply within 20 working days.  If your appeal
concerns the decision to apply an exemption, it would assist the review if
you outline why you believe the exemption does not apply. 

 

If you remain dissatisfied following this process and do not believe we
can help you any further, then you may wish to apply to the Information
Commissioner at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AF for
a decision.  Further information about this process can be found at
[4]https://ico.org.uk.   

 

Yours sincerely
