Occasionally, requests to Cleveland Police may be denied if the information is not held or is exempt under the Freedom of Information Act. In such cases, you will be informed and possibly referred to the appropriate authority. Delays beyond the statutory 20 working days can occur, and you will be notified if this happens. Additionally, requests lacking sufficient detail may require further clarification, leading to delays. To avoid these issues, ensure your request is detailed and complete.
