PC 5169 GLEN CROSLAND, £3,000 damages and an apology.

The request was refused by Thames Valley Police.

Edward Williams

Dear Thames Valley Police,

According to this youtube video:-
https://youtu.be/7dzM56Rkq28

you have now settled a claim for £3,000 damages and issued a full apology following these scenes of Thames Valley police (TVP) here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dzM56Rk...

The incident appears to have taken place on 8 Oct 2015.

REQUESTS UNDER FOIA
1.Provide all data relating to whether or not TVP follows the ACPO guidance on photography:-
https://www.theiac.org.uk/resourcesnew/f...

"• There are no powers prohibiting the taking of photographs, film or digital
images in a public place. Therefore members of the public and press should not
be prevented from doing so.
• We need to cooperate with the media and amateur photographers. They play a
vital role as their images help us identify criminals.
• We must acknowledge that citizen journalism is a feature of modern life and
police officers are now photographed and filmed more than ever.
• Unnecessarily restricting photography, whether for the casual tourist or
professional is unacceptable and it undermines public confidence in the police
service.
• Once an image has been recorded, the police have no power to delete or
confiscate it without a court order."

2.a)Provide any police complaint investigation report into CROSLAND'S or other officers/PCSOs behaviour to the photographer (you are welcome, of course, to redact the ID of the victim). b)Provide all statements, recordings etc. made by any officer present at the incident to TVP in relation to the incident. This includes notebook entries.

3. Provide details of all management action/training given/punishment given to CROSLAND or other officers/CSOs as a result of the incident.

4. Provide all data showing whether CROSLAND is still comm. police officer of the year since the £3k payout.

5. Provide all records/data showing what personal data of the victim photographer CROSLAND or other officers accessed during the search. Clearly, this must be redacted to protect the ID of the victim, the data I want might consist of something like this:-
"Name
Address
Date of birth
Check police national computer
Check police national database"

and would consist perhaps of a computerised record.

6. Provide TVP policy for use of body worn video recorders ('bodycams') and uniforms in force at time of the incident.

7. Provide all data showing whether or not CROSLAND's (unlawful) actions etc. were taken into account by TVP before he was made comm. police officer of the year.

8. Provide all data showing what is required to become comm. officer of the year.

9.Provide all data, correspondence, reports etc. provided by TVP to the police and crime commissioner relating to the incident and replies.

10. TVP made a very moving video paying tribute to CROSLAND and uploaded it to youtube:-
https://youtu.be/qSAqmB9c7sg
a)how much did the video cost?
b)who wrote the script?
c)how many people, not working for TVP, voted for CROSLAND?
d)provide the email referred to in the video from NIKKI ROSS to CROSSLAND

11. Provide all data showing how the public can apply to have an officer stripped of the title of comm. police officer of the year.

12. Provide the date TVP received a complaint regarding the incident.

Please note that I have used my real name. Failure to respond will lead to a referral to the ICO as per FOIA.

Yours faithfully,

Edward Williams
