FOI Request
Please provide me with all emails between PCC Coppinger and media advisor Ian Cross between 20th September 2019 and 3rd October 2019 including Cc and Bcc correspondence.
FOI Response
A search of email archives found 23 emails between the Police and Crime Commissioner and Strategic Media Advisor Ian Cross for the specified date range. Please see a bundle containing these emails attached to the email accompanying this letter.
All redactions made are personal data either of junior OPCC staff or staff from external organisations and therefore are exempt under Section 40(2) and 40(3a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Section 40(2) provides protections for third party data and 40(3a) prevents disclosure where it would lead to a breach of the principles of the Data Protection Act 2018.
Email chains containing conversations conducted prior to the correspondence between the PCC and Mr Cross have also been redacted, as this correspondence occurred between other individuals and therefore cannot be disclosed under this request.
