Greater Manchester Police
30 October 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested copies of any policies or procedures Greater Manchester Police (GMP) follows regarding the entry and search of premises. GMP initially said that it did not hold the information described in the request. Following an exchange of correspondence, in which it said the complainant had submitted a new request, it disclosed information which fell within the scope of the original request. The Commissioner’s decision is that in failing to communicate to the complainant information described in the request, within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, GMP breached section 10(1) (time for compliance) of the FOIA. She also found a breach of section 1 (general right of access) of the FOIA.
