Dear North Wales Police,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of North Wales Police's handling of my FOI request 'Relationship of North Wales Police with Kingdom Security'.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently submitted a Freedom of Information request to you which was responded to in a timely manner and was comprehensive and for that, I thank you. It seemed to answer my request adequately however, since then, I have become aware of claims which if true, contradict the information you have hitherto supplied.

In your response, it was claimed North Wales Police had no record of a Police Officer being called to any incident whereby an employee of the private company Kingdom Security, had requested assistance because a member of the public who had been accused by Kingdom Security staff of littering had refused to supply details to the operatives contracted to the North Wales local authorities.

I have been made aware that some members of the public have claimed that Kingdom Security officers have made telephone calls to North Wales Police seeking assistance in their attempts to enforce fixed penalty notices and in at least one case, a Police officer did turn up, obtained the accused details and somehow, this information found its way into the hands of the Kingdom Security employee who then proceeded to issue a fixed penalty notice.

This information seems to contradict your previous response and because of that, I respectfully request a review as the information I have is either wrong, your response is incorrect or your response is correct but records haven't been recorded correctly.

Thank you

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...

Yours faithfully,

Scott L. Felton
