Subject: Subject Access Request Simon Cordell 2018020000641

Good morning,

OUR REFERENCE: 2018020000641
REQUEST DEADLINE: 25.03.2018

I am writing in response to your email enquiring about the progress of your Subject Access
Request. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to provide you with a timescale for
completion; this is due to the high volume of requests currently being received by the MPS,
therefore your case is taking longer to process.

Your request was reviewed when first received and is now waiting to be allocated to a
caseworker for processing.

We are not able to prioritise any application and all requests are being processed strictly by
the date they have been received.

We are not taking telephone calls at the moment with regard to the progress of any
application because the team are currently dedicating their available work­time to the
processing of the requests in order of receipt to manage the workload effectively without
interruption; ensuring that responses are sent to everyone in the shortest time possible.

If you require information for court or other legal proceedings, family court proceedings or
employment tribunals, please see the attached document for suitable disclosure methods.

Please note this is not intended to infringe in any way on your right to access your personal
data, as granted by Section 7 of the Data Protection Act.

Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this is causing you.

Regards,

Anna Sokol |Administration Assistant for Privacy Team| Strategy and Insight | Strategy and
Governance | Met HQ | Metropolitan Police Service
