Please Note: We can only retrieve nationalities
stored on our HR computer system which will not give a full view of
nationalities of officers in the force. Therefore this information
in not quite complete. To retrieve the remaining data would mean an
examination of manually held records this it is estimated would
exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit is defined in
the Data Protection and Freedom of Information (Fees and
Appropriate Limit) Regulations 2004, which is covered by statutory
Instrument Number 3244 of 2004. Furthermore, section 12 of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 allows a public authority to refuse
to respond to a request for information where the cost of
compliance would exceed the appropriate limit as defined by the
above mentioned regulations.
