FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: FOI-1132-2023
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 14th December 2023 as follows:
I am sending this email, as I am seeking some information from your constabulary in relation to your sports team’s policies, therefore I am sending you a freedom of information request.
I am aware that some constabularies have allocated annual leave allocated to officers that represent there force when playing sports, whether that is rugby, football, cricket or golf etc.
Basically, I am trying to find out what amount of time your force, if any, is given to officers or staff that represent your force.
Please could you send me a copy of your policy (If you have one?), and redact anything out that is not necessary to my request and me.
Please find the Warwickshire Police response set out below.
Response: Warwickshire Police do not hold a policy specific to your request; however, I can advise that individuals are granted one day’s paid leave per year to take part in Police Sport UK events.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible.
Your attention is drawn to the below which details your right of complaint.
