Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police

  • Date 25 April 2025
  • Sector Police and criminal justice
  • Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld

The complainant requested information from Leicestershire Police on 28 January 2025 related to software or other services provided to them by Palantir such as Impact Assessments, case summaries, data sharing and contracts.
A public authority will breach section 10 of FOIA if it fails to respond to a request within 20 working days. Based on evidence available to the Commissioner, by the date of this notice the public authority has not issued a substantive response to this request. Therefore, the Commissioner finds a breach of section 10.    
The public authority must provide a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under FOIA.  
The public authority must take this step within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
