Dear Mr xxxxxx, 
 
Thank you for your request for a copy of any document that references Home Office circular 46/2004, 
from August 2004 to date. 
 
Your request was logged by Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Information Services Office to be processed 
under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). 
 
Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within the statutory time-scale of 
20 working days as defined by the Act from 04 November 2010 when your request was received into 
the Constabulary, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third 
party.  
 
The deadline for Hertfordshire Constabulary to respond to your request for information is 02 
December 2010. In some circumstances Hertfordshire Constabulary 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 have 
requested.  In which case, you will be informed and the 20 working day time-scale will be suspended 
until we receive payment from you.  If payment is not received in accordance with the terms of the Act 
we will assume you do not wish to continue with this request and close it accordingly. 
 
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. 
 
Please also note during the course of carrying out information searches and enquiries relating to your 
request, your name and address may be shared within Hertfordshire Constabulary. I would like to 
take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Hertfordshire Constabulary. 
 
Yours sincerely,
