Dear Hertfordshire Constabulary,

I am seeking certain information related to police injury pensions.

1. Do you have a written policy governing the management and review of police injury pensions? If you do, please provide me with a copy.

2. Since August 2004, to date, how many injury pensions have been reduced when reviewed?

3. Since August 2004, to date, how many injury pensions have been increased when reviewed?

4. Since August 2004, to date, how many injury pensions have been reduced to the lowest band when the former officer in receipt of the pension reached (or had already reached) the age of 65?

5. If your force has any document recording any analysis and/or consideration of the guidance contained in Annex C to Home Office circular 46/2004 please supply me with a copy.

6. If your force has any document recording any calculation and/or projection of the potential budgetary savings and/or financial impact that might result from adoption of the guidance contained in Annex C to Home Office circular 46/2004 please supply me with a copy.

Notes:

In this request, the term ‘document’ should be taken to mean any record whether in printed or digital form, including reports, minutes or transcripts of meetings, notes, memoranda, letters, and email, etc.

Any information you supply should be in any standard digital format, such as MS Word (.doc) or Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf) and sent to the address indicated, where it will be available for viewing by visitors to the whatdotheyknow.com web site.
