FOI 173-24 Contact Details
Enquiry Reference: 173 -24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request. Below is your request and our response.
I am a volunteer for the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals [NFRSA] and I have been asked to compile a database of all of the Chief Constables of forces in the UK.
This will enable the Founder and Chairman, Lady Bathurst, to contact each Chief Constable to advise them of the work of the charity and how it may be able to help the force.
To this end I hope that you can provide me with the name, postal and email addresses and telephone number of your Chief Constable.
Could you also please let me know the name of the Head of the Dog Unit for the force and, if applicable, the name of the Head of the Mounted Unit, with the email addresses and telephone numbers.
Having made enquiries within the Force we do not have a mounted section and the Head of Operations is Chief Superintendent Waugh. For anything else we would rely on the following.
We have looked at the content of your request and must advise you that we consider the Freedom of information Act 2000 Exemption 21 (Information Accessible by other means) is engaged in relation to this request this is a class based and absolute exemption, requiring no prejudice or public interest to be considered.
