Dear Mr Joseph Furness,

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by Greater Manchester Police today.  I note you require access to the
following information:

As per email below

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). 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 Greater Manchester 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 and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make 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.
Should you have any further inquiries concerning this matter, please write
or contact the Information Compliance & Records Management Unit, on
telephone number 0161 856 2529

Kind regards

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Speeding Camera information

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Greater Manchester Police,

I would like to request a FOI disclosure for the calibration and
maintenance specific to the camera opposite copley school, millbrook, and
how the speed is
calculated as part of the secondary check.

Please can you provide evidence of and/or answers to the following
5 points:

1.A current and valid calibration certificate specific to this camera.
2.After the camera has been returned following calibration please
confirm if, apart from the calibration certificate, Gatsometer B.V
provide a report on any faults detected and items replaced and, if
so, please identify the items and what dates they were replaced,
including batteries, that have required replacement.
3.After calibration, please confirm if the cameras are returned
with a shutter speed of two photographs at intervals of 0.5
seconds, and if your Camera Enforcement Officers make any
adjustments to the shutter speed or flash setting prior to
reinstallation and, if so, what are the setting adjustments?.
4.Regarding the secondary check viewing, please advise how the
viewing staff are trained for their task, who does the training,
are certificates of completion provided, and are the staff given
post training assessments or hard copy reference documentation.
5.Is the work of the viewing staff audited or reviewed at
intervals?
6.Please confirm the distance between the calibration lines on the
road which are part of the secondary check, so that one can
calculate the speed if five lines are passed.

Yours faithfully,
Joseph Furness
