Dear Devon and Cornwall Constabulary,
Thank you for your response.
I was aware the hate crime policy was already published online. Many thanks for the Dealing with hate crime incidents document which is very useful.
However, I was specifically requesting a copy of the Standard Operational Procedure for hate crime which should be a separate document.
For example, Bedfordshire police have a policy - http://www.bedfordshire.police.uk/pdf/An... and their SOP available - http://www.bedfordshire.police.uk/pdf/P0...
I look forward to receiving the Standard Operating Procedures document from you if you have one.
Yours faithfully,
Emily Apple
Dear Ms Apple,
Devon & Cornwall Constabulary do not have 'Standard Operating Procedures'. This Force works with 'Working Practices'. Although entitled guidance the document you were provided is effectively this Force's working practice in relation to Hate Crime and Officers and staff are expecting to follow the instructions within that document.
I hope this clarifies the response. Should you wish an internal review to be conducted please confirm this by way of response.
Yours sincerely,
Georgina Kemp
