South Yorkshire Police (SYP) has been served with an Enforcement Notice as a result of evidence seen by the Commissioner about its performance in relation to its statutory duties under the Freedom of Information Act. At the date of the notice SYP was answering fewer than 18% of requests within 20 working days. It also had a significant and rapidly-expanding backlog of requests. The Enforcement Notice requires SYP to provide responses to all requests that are currently more than 20 working days old by 31 August 2024.
