Dear Information Compliance,

You are late with answering my FOI request.
Given the enormity of the risks taken by officers, what was done to protect them is in the public interest.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Humberside Police,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Humberside Police's handling of my FOI request 'Health & Safety of Officers at West Newton Gas Site'.

So far, you have had enough time to access and disseminate all the documents requested as you would have had to complete risk assessments to protect and ensure a duty of care to your Officers, members of the public and the employees of the site.

I will send a copy to your Police and Crime Commissioner.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/h...

Dear Humberside Police,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Humberside Police's handling of my FOI request 'Health & Safety of Officers at West Newton Gas Site'.

A complaint was lodged to the ICO on the 1st July 2019 with regard to your failure to adhere to the FOI sent to you on the 14th April 2019 - the IOC case number is FS50854915

You were told in this letter that you had to answer within 10 working days of the letter sent 16 days prior.

Please could you now action this before I go back to the IOC to make a further complaint of non-compliance.

I would also suggest that you are putting the Police Force into disrepute by firstly failing to answer the FOI and secondly by answering to the IOC letter

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/h...
