Dear West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner,
I write to you in order to request the information set out below. My request is pursuant to the FOIA.
The request concerns the investment made by the Home Office into your district under the Safer Streets Fund, announced in July 2020.
Please can you provide the following:
1. All the LSOAs (lower super output areas) under your jurisdiction that the intervention area covers
2. The specification for CCTV that will be installed in these areas including:
i) the model of camera
ii) a description of the camera
iii) the number of cameras that will be installed
If no CCTV cameras are planned, please make this clear.
If you need clarification please contact me at this email address. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the 20th working day, which is March 4.
I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
