Your email has been received by GMP’s Freedom of Information mailbox.

If you are emailing a valid Freedom of Information request please treat
this as a formal acknowledgement of that request.

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You should receive a response within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act (from when GMP
receives a valid request), subject to the information not being exempt or
containing a reference to a third party.

In some circumstances Greater Manchester Police may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale 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.

However, should your email be in relation to another matter, it will be
responded to or redirected accordingly.

Thank you for contacting GMP.
