F

The name, age, gender and rank of each officer and PCSO charged with an offence and their status with the States of Jersey Police both now and when the alleged offence occurred.

Response

The States of Jersey Police systems are not configured in such a way that the information requested can be extracted other than by manually checking the record of each individual that has served as a police officer at any time in the force during the time parameters covered by the request.

It is estimated that to undertake this manual checking of around 300 individuals (each check taking approximately 5 minutes) would take in excess of the 12.5 hours allowed by regulation and Article16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies..

To ensure the highest level of integrity and maintain public trust, States of Jersey Police  follow the College of Policing’s Approved Professional Practice on Vetting which is available to  view at:

Article applied

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations. 

Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014 allows an authority to refuse a request for information where the estimated cost of dealing with the request would exceed the specified amount of the cost limit of £500. This is the estimated cost of one person spending 12.5 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.​​
