Dear Jamie Waller

Request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)

I write in connection with your request for information, which was
received by Nottinghamshire Police.

Please note that the reference for this request is 01/FOI/24/012237

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the FOIA. You will
receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as
defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or
containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances
Nottinghamshire Police may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is
likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest
opportunity.

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

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
Nottinghamshire Police.

Kind regards,
