Dear Mr Wilson,

We acknowledge receipt of your Freedom of Information Request:

1) What measures are in place to prevent officers abusing their position
by committing police resources to harass/stitch-up etc., members of the
public who have got on the wrong side of officers serving with Devon and
Cornwall Constabulary, for example, by exposing corruption/misconduct?

2) What position of seniority would an officer serving with Devon and
Cornwall Constabulary need to hold for it to be feasible for him/her to be
successful in carrying out this kind of abuse?

Your request will be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. You should expect to be sent a response within the
statutory limit of 20 working days, subject to the provisions of the Act. 

Please Note: All disclosures made under FOI become public documents and
