All foi requests in last 12 months
Dear Police Scotland,
I write to make an freedom of information request. Can you please supply me in a PDF a copy of all FOI requests (from this site and outwith this site) that Police Scotland have received from 1st November 2014 till 31st Oct 2015. The information should be listed chronologically.
The details of the applicants can be redacted as I do not need to know their personal information.
I look forward to receiving the information within the 20 working days as per the act.
Yours faithfully,
William smith

Dear Steven Simeon,
You dont seem to have attached anything?

Morning.
No I know, the mail marshall is blocking the emails because of the size/volumes involved.
Would you be able to accept a reduced amount of all FOI requests we have received, from July for example?
It's not that I can't, won't or don't want to give you all the requests you've asked for, it's the sheer numbers involved that is causing a problem. My own mailbox is freezing and I can't do anything.
Thanks.
Steven.
Dear Steven Simeon,
Thanks fro your reply. Would it be possible to break it down to 12 emailed replies covering each month.
Yours sincerely,
William smith

Morning.
That was my intention and that's what I tried to do at first, the mailbox (mine anyway) isn't large enough to support such large bulk emails. I then split the month into 3 or 4 emails, however you still didn't actually receive any PDFs from me, just the body of the email.
The closing date for you to receive a response is 04/12/15, so I have plenty of time to figure out something. I have already spent about half a day on your request, however you have still not received anything from me which is a shame.
Keep in touch with me though, we will always do everything we can to get responses to you within the time/cost limit.
Thanks.
Steven.

<<Jun Disclosures 2.zip>> NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED
Hello,
This is the second and last email for June.
You now have all of the PDFs from November 2014 - October 2015.
I know I didn't send them in chronological order, however I was trying
to get as many to you as quickly as possible (the July to October ones)
but the ones from November 2014 to June 2015 were sent in order.
I'm sorry this has taken so long, however as we'd spoke about before,
the size of the files multiplied by however many over the last year were
much higher than I anticipated.
Thank you.
Steven.

Morning.
Can you have a look at the responses I sent you for the July - October
files please? I know that when I started sending the emails to you,
they'd been sent without any attachments. As the file sizes are so large,
I've had to delete everything immediately after sending to you, so let me
know if you got these.
Thanks.
Steven.
Dear Steven Simeon,
Thanks for your excellent work. I havent received the FOI requests from July to October but do not stress yourself anymore with this request. What you have provided me is more than enough to be getting on with.
Many thanks.
Yours sincerely,
William smith

I wish I had the skills set to know how to engage the police into being so helpful and cooperate; or maybe it just depends in which police force you make an FOI to?
