If you are an individual seeking access to information about yourself
which may be held on Police systems, then you will need to make a Subject
Access Request. This is a written request which will need to be submitted
to us along with 2 forms of identification. We do have a standardised form
which you can use for this purpose which can be downloaded from our
internet page by searching for “subject access form”. This form also
contains guidance on suitable documentation which can be used for
identification purposes. Subject access requests should be submitted to us
at the address listed above.

 

You should receive a reply within 1 month from the date the completed
application form is received by us, due to our current workload it is
unlikely that we will be able to meet any deadlines shorter than this. In
some circumstances we have the right to extend this period by an
additional 2 months if the request is excessive or complex. If your
request is subject to a deadline extension we will contact you to advise
you of this within 1 month of receipt of your request.

 

If you require a copy of your ‘Criminal record’ i.e. a record of what is
held about you on the Police National Computer; including a list of your
Convictions, Cautions Reprimands and Warnings, you will need to make an

further information which includes an option to make an online
application:

not Nottinghamshire Police directly. Please see their website for further
details.

Violence for the purposes of supporting a legal aid application then we do
have a standardised form which you will need to complete. We will
endeavour to respond to your request with the relevant form as soon as
possible.

Dear Mike

Re: Freedom of Information Request

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by this department on 5/16/2020.Your request is as follows:

Please can you provide the last 10 years of expenditure, by year, on
forensic science services broken down between in-house and contracted
out.  Also can you give the split of contracted out expenditure that
relates to digital forensics. Data in Excel or CSV format preferred

 

We are currently experiencing an extremely high volume of requests which
is causing us significant delays in providing responses to some
information requests. Your request above is unfortunately one which we
have been unable to respond to within the timescales outlined in the Act.

 

In order to efficiently allocate resources in respect of responding to
information requests, we are writing to all individuals who have made
requests where responses are significantly overdue by 6 months or longer
to ascertain whether the information is still required by the applicant.

 

Your request will be treated as withdrawn and closed on our request
management system until we receive further communication from yourself
that the information above is still required. This is to allow us to focus
our resources on those information requests which are ‘current’.

 

If the information above is still required, please reply to us in writing
to [1][Nottinghamshire Police request email] and we will
endeavour to prioritise your request in line with our current workload
commitments.

Once again, I apologise on behalf of Nottinghamshire Police for the delay
and any inconvenience caused in responding to your request. We appreciate
your understanding in this matter.

 

Yours sincerely
