2. What are the contract lengths of the PCDA and DHEP arrangements with your Higher Education Institution(s)?

Dear Mr Simm
Following the changes to Government advice, from Wednesday 18 March the
team who deal with requests for information under the Freedom of
Information Act will not be situated within Force Headquarters.
Currently we are asking you to reflect on whether it would be deemed in
the public’s interest to receive the information you have requested at
this time, diverting operational officers away from their normal duties to
provide you with a response. Could we ask you to please consider whether
you would be able to delay your request for information given the current
circumstances? If you would like to withdraw a request previously
submitted, please reply to this email.
We will continue to provide the best service that we can but if you have
made a Freedom of Information request, you may experience a delay in
receiving your response, as the organisation is diverting our resources to
help with Covid-19.
Thank you for your co-operation at this time.
Yours sincerely
Michelle Radcliffe
