Police force use of commercial genealogy databses

The request was refused by Lincolnshire Police.

Dear police force FOI officer,
Please can you tell me if you have submitted any samples to (1) GEDmatch and (2) Family Tree DNA, either independently or through a US genetic genealogy service such as Parabon or through the genealogists who worked on the Golden State Killer case. I would like this request considered under FOI rules. Please advise if the request's scope needs narrowing to make it deliverable.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Vaughan
