Chief Constable of Sussex Police

The complainant requested information about thefts from motor vehicles within specific geographic areas. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Chief Constable of Sussex Police failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Constabulary to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request.
