Known issues
The primary issue callers experience is the submission of non-FOI queries, which are not processed through this line. It is crucial for callers to ensure their queries are strictly related to FOI matters as non-FOI issues, such as crime reports or general enquiries, are not handled and will be redirected or discarded. For non-FOI related matters, contacting the appropriate police line, such as 101 for general enquiries, is recommended. To avoid any inconvenience, ensure the FOI request is well-prepared with all required details to facilitate a smooth process.
