Your email to the Merseyside Police Freedom of Information (FOI) in box is
acknowledged.

If it contains an initial (new) request under FOI it will be dealt with in
accordance with section 10 of the Act which means that you are entitled to
receive a response no later than 20 working days after the first working
day* on which your request is received.

Other arrangements may apply if a fees notice is issued or if the time
period is extended in order that public interest considerations of our
response may take place. Section 10 also allows public authorities to
apply variations to the normal 20 working day timescale in some limited
circumstances.

Due to the volume of e-mail correspondence and FOI applications received,
the Force regrets that individual acknowledgement e-mails will not be sent
even if specifically requested.

If the correspondence cannot be dealt with as FOI, it will be forwarded
internally and you will be advised of the location. Any related
communication must be direct to the identified location and not the FOI
e-mail address.

*The ‘working day’ is defined as any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday,
Christmas Day, Good Friday or a day which is a bank holiday under the
Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in any part of the United Kingdom.
The first reckonable day is the working day after the working day of
receipt.

Although every effort will be made to ensure a response is provided within
statutory deadlines, due to current circumstances delays may be
unavoidable. We apologise for any inconvenience and will endeavour to
process your request as quickly as is practicable.

Morning Victor

The Information Commissioner requires public authorities to ensure that a
Freedom of Information application is fully understood before providing a
response. Where there is ambiguity in an application, public authorities
are required to seek clarification of the information that you require. 
To enable Merseyside Police to meet your request could you please provide
this office with further information? I provide some guidance that may
assist you more clearly to describe the information.

Please clarify

Are you seeking Body Cam Footage of the incident on behalf of yourself or
a third party? If it’s for another party you will need to send in a SAR
request, as this is not held by the FOI Department, but I can only guide
you once you respond to this question

I am contacting you in regards to releasing body cam footage of the
officers involved in a call to Ainsdale, Southport during an answer to a
call on the 29/11/2023 from 11:59 to 12:34.

This is in regards to complaints from the callers that the officers on
sight dismissed direct threats of bodily and property harm/damage from a
hooded, unidentified man that presented to the address before the police
were called to it that resulted in the family at the house having to give
money to the hooded person, allegedly with encouragement/pressure from at
least one of the two officers that attended the call to do so.

The family was given the badge number of one of the officers if that is to
be required for the request as well as the full address. Will need full
address, name of occupant and Officer’s badge number

After receiving your reply, your request will then be considered and you
will receive the information requested within the statutory time scale of
20 working days as defined by the Freedom of Information Act 2000, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing reference to a third
party.

However, if the requested information has not been received by one month
after the above date, I will consider that you no longer wish to proceed
with this request and it will be treated as withdrawn.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collection and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day time scale will be suspended until we receive the
payment from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request
will remain unanswered.

Yours faithfully,

Greg Taylor

Afternoon Victor

As previously explained  your FOI application is not a valid FOI request.
I appreciate your asking for Personal Information regarding a family
matter but unfortunately the family members involved need to make a SAR
Request, or you can on their behalf but with the involved parties written
consent- both parties will need to attach two forms of ID. If you read my
Response Table the link in Bold  SAR (Subject Access Report) is the
Department you need to submit your request to. In regards to the BWV
incident you can pursue this by completing a  complaints form. I have
attached the link for you to proceed with

Regards
