This is to confirm receipt of your email sent to the Freedom of
Information Enquiries mailbox of the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal

What happens next?

Your request will now be considered and, depending on what is requested,
the FOI Manager will take the following course of action:

• allocate it to a dedicated member of the FOI Enquiries Team who will
manage your FOI request and send you the COPFS response

or

• advise you by email if your request could not, or should not, be
managed as a FOI; or if it is being managed by another department in
COPFS e.g. if it is personal information this might be managed as a
Subject Access Request; or where possible advise you of an alternative
route to get the information

or

• advise you by email if it is not our organisation who would have the
information requested - and where possible direct you to the probable
source.

Please note that other than this automatic email acknowledgement; the
above; or our request for clarification of any specific points, no member
of the FOI Enquiries Team will contact you until the FOI response is
issued.

your request
