Computer operating systems

The request was partially successful.

Res ipsa Loquitor

Dear Derbyshire Constabulary,

I am interested to know

- how many computers (desktops, laptops, tablets) are in the Force estate for use by officers and staff?
- which is the prevalent computer operating system across the constabulary (for example Microsoft Windows XP, WIndows7, Windows 10, iOS (Apple), Chrome or other);
- which version of that system is the default;
- regardless which system is the current default, whether there is an intention to move to Windows 10 and if so when and at what estimated cost.

If the force has commenced this move to Windows 10, what approximate proportion of devices are using Windows 10.

I am not seeking any personal information of any kind.

Yours faithfully,

Res ipsa Loquitor (Brian Speedwell)

Freedom of Information Office, Derbyshire Constabulary

Dear Mr Speedwell

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

I write in connection with your request for information as shown below.

 

- how many computers (desktops, laptops, tablets) are in the Force estate
for use by officers and staff?

- which is the prevalent computer operating system across the constabulary
(for example Microsoft Windows XP, WIndows7, Windows 10, iOS (Apple),
Chrome or other);

- which version of that system is the default;

- regardless which system is the current default, whether there is an
intention to move to Windows 10 and if so when and at what estimated cost.

 

If the force has commenced this move to Windows 10, what approximate
proportion of devices are using Windows 10.

 

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You should expect to receive a response
within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act,
subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a
third party. In some circumstances Derbyshire Constabulary may be unable
to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given
a revised timescale at the earliest opportunity.

 

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

 

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

 

Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please write
or contact the Freedom of Information Officer, on the telephone number
below quoting the reference number shown in the header of this e-mail.

 

Yours sincerely,
