Response
Our data are not organised in such a way as to allow us to provide this information within the appropriate (cost) limit within the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act (see ‘Reason for Decision’ below).
REASON FOR DECISION
Please note that researching each individual case would exceed the appropriate limit (FOIA, s.12). Due to a change in recording systems we are currently only able to supply data up to the 7th April therefore we are unable to answer all of the above, in order to locate and retrieve further data we would need to conduct a manual search that would exceed the FOI time limit.
The cost of compliance with the whole of your request is above the amount to which we are legally required to respond, i.e. the cost of locating and retrieving the information would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12(1) of the FOI Act 2000. For West Midlands Police, the appropriate limit is set at £450, as prescribed by the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004, S.I. 3244.
