Response.
Our response to you is as follows:
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner does not hold any information in relation to the requests you have made. As has been clarified in multiple previous emails, the information you are seeking is primarily of an operational nature, which you would need to source from West Mercia Police.
The law that you ask about is not information that the OPCC holds. You may find this information via open source material online.
The OPCC did not ignore your correspondence, as is evidenced by our case files, where we have multiple emails that were sent to you. We do not have any other contact information for you.
If you are unhappy with this response, you have the right to take the matter up with the Information Commissioner.
Yours sincerely,
FOI Officer West
