Port of Dover Police publication scheme

Types of information available:

The purpose of a publication scheme is to make sure that a significant amount of information is made available without the need for anyone to make a formal request for information. In consultation with other police forces, key areas of information that the public may require, are identified and form the basis of our classes of information.

Our Policies and Procedures

Class Definition: At the time of going live with this Publication Scheme we are currently writing and reviewing a number of local policy areas and as such are unable to load all of our policies onto our web site at present. New policies may also be added in time. Currently, and where appropriate, we follow national guidelines, policies and codes of practice. It is intended that here you will find the current statements of principle providing guidance and direction to staff in respect of a specific issue or piece of legislation. Our policies will establish the expected organisational behaviour in line with organisational objectives leading to a consistent approach to decision making. Our policies will set out broad expectations and will be 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be noted that some of the material in this Class contains exempt information, which in the public interest, should not be published. When 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 and law enforcement more generally.

Availability: Post, if available

Cost: Free of charge.
