During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, our practices may not meet our usual response times and it may take longer for us to respond to your requests. We will continue to work normally as far as we can, but, as the situation continues to develop, the focus of the team may need to be diverted to the most important aspects of work, which may place unavoidable strain on our resources that we cannot avoid.
Due to the current volume of work, we are unable to provide individual responses regarding updates on requests. We ask that you please bare with us during this extraordinary period and we will endeavour to provide final disclosures to you as soon as possible.
Dear Ms Culler
Our Ref: FOI 002471/20
Please accept this email as confirmation that your request for information has been received.
Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances Suffolk 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.
We anticipate being able to provide you with a response by 18 August 2020
During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic our practices may not meet our usual response times and it may take longer for us to respond to your FOI request. As the situation continues to develop, the focus of our team, and other departments may need to be diverted to the most critical aspects of frontline police work, which may place an unavoidable strain on our resources. I would therefore politely ask that if any request for information can be deferred, then please do so by withdrawing your FOI request. Your understanding is appreciated.
