Dear Mr Proctor

 

Reference 457/2012

 

I write with reference to question one of your request for information
dated the 25 August 2012 and received on the 28 August 2012 concerning
complaints and claims for damages.

 

Dyfed Powys Police publishes the number of recorded complaints within the
Dyfed Powys Police website; they are published on a quarterly basis. They
are available via the below hyperlink and the relevant reports are listed
on the right hand side of the page:

 

[1]www.dyfed-powys.police.uk/en/about-us/complaints-and-compliments/complaints-and-misconduct

 

The reports are also published in Welsh via the following hyperlink:

 

[2]www.dyfed-powys.police.uk/cy/about-us/complaints-and-compliments/complaints-and-misconduct

 

I note however that you request information for the period between 01
January 2011 and 01 January 2012; quarter 3 of the published statistics
provides the figures up to the 31 December 2011.  I wondered however
whether the published information would satisfy your requirements.  

 

It would be appreciated if you could get back to me, however if I do not
hear anything further from you concerning this question within the next
twenty days I shall assume that the published information satisfies your
requirements and this question will be closed.

 

I note that you have requested that the response to your request for
information is provided in Welsh, could you advise me therefore whether
you also wish to receive this e-mail in Welsh.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss this
matter further

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Proctor,

 

Reference No: 457/2012

 

Further to our request for clarification dated 30^th August 2012 (below),
we have been advised that Question 3 cannot be processed until
clarification is received in respect of Question 2, as Question 3 requests
confirmation of how much has been spent in defending the cases discussed
at Question 2.  Therefore a response to our original request for
clarification i.e. “please would you confirm whether the time period to be
covered by Question 2 (claims for damages) is the same as that for
Question 1  i.e. 1st January 2011 to 1st January 2012?” would be
appreciated at your earliest convenience so that we may continue
processing your request.

 

Many thanks,
