Response
I can confirm that the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC) does not hold the information requested. Information relating to estates and property used by the OPFCC are managed on our behalf by our Enabling Services Team who are employed by the Chief Constable of Northamptonshire Police.
It is important to understand that The Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and Northamptonshire Police are two separate legal entities. Information regarding operational policing matters, estates and systems is the responsibility of Northamptonshire Police, therefore the OPFCC would not hold any of the information you have requested. Northamptonshire Police’s Information Unit may hold some of the information you are seeking. If you have not already done so, then you may wish to write to their Freedom of Information and Data Protection Team, Information Unit, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ / [email protected]
