CN Unit Callsigns

The request was refused by Metropolitan Police Service (MPS).

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

I would like to receive information on the callsigns that are assigned to units working in the CN area (merger of Camden and Islington).

This request is similar to a previous request (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/b...), but I believe that the callsigns will now have been modified to reflect the merger.

If the findings could be published in the way they were on the previous request (as an Excel spreadsheet), it would be preferable.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Elliott

Metropolitan Police Service (MPS)

Dear Mr Elliott

Freedom of Information Request Reference No: 2018110000727

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) on 10/11/2018.  

I am sorry that you have not received a suitable response within the 20
working days stipulated by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act).
 

The MPS have received a high number of FOI requests and often these
matters can be complex, involving input from various units across the MPS
and, due to our national remit in some areas, other police forces/partner
organisations.

Unfortunately, with the current demands placed on the MPS we have been
unable to respond to requests as quickly as we would have hoped. We
appreciate that many of our requestors have their own deadlines to adhere
to whether that be an article to write, an essay to complete or research
for a publication and we apologies for any inconvenience this delay has
caused.

Your request is currently sitting with management for sign-off.
                                                                         
                                   
I would like to thank you for your patience in awaiting my response.
