Humberside Police - protecting communities, targeting criminals

Information under the Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act requires a Publication Scheme to specify the classes of information the public authority already publishes or intends to publish. Our intention is to publish as much information as possible on subjects in which there is known to be public interest. However, exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act may prevent some information from being released

Humberside Police publishes, or intends to publish information under the Classes listed below:

Who's Who & Where
What Are Our Aims, Objectives & Plans?
How Are We Doing?

What Are Our Aims, Objectives & Plans?

In this class of information Humberside Police documents are published. They provide information on the strategic aims, objectives and plans of Humberside Police

Our corporate documents and publications which include our Joint Annual Reports and Strategic Policing Plans

Executive Decision Meetings

In recognition of the need to have regard to the public interest in allowing access to public information held, and in the publication of reasons for decisions made, ratified minutes of the ‘open' session of formal Force level decision making meetings are published. They contain discussion of key strategic issues under consideration and the primary decisions relating to resource and budgetary matters. Minutes of the 'closed' session are not available under this publication scheme. They contain information of a confidential and sensitive nature, e.g. personnel, security matters and commercial interests.

Details of approved Open session minutes of meetings of the Force’s Strategy Team are available on this.  After twenty four months they will be removed and archived.

Our Policies and Practice Directions

Here you will find current statements of principle providing guidance and direction to staff in respect of specific issues or pieces of legislation. Our policies and practice directions establish the expected organisational behaviour in line with organisational objectives leading to a consistent approach to decision making. They set out broad expectations and the framework from which procedure flows.

It should be noted that some of the material in this Class contains exempt information which, in the public interest, should not be published. Where this occurs the material will clearly show where information has been withheld and explain what exemption has been applied and why. Typically information may be withheld if its release would compromise the health and safety of staff, investigations and proceedings or law enforcement more generally.

If you can not find the information on the link below, please contact our Information Compliance Unit.

Significant Public Interest Category

In addition to the above classes of information, we want to provide you with information about incidents that we believe to attract significant public interest. That is why we have created this ‘category’ of information which falls outside the approved Classes of Information."

Information provided in this category will be changed/ updated as deemed appropriate by Humberside Police.
