Publication Scheme

Section 3

Preparing the publication scheme

When preparing or reviewing our publication scheme, we are obliged by FOISA to have due regard to the public interest in providing access to the information that we hold which relates to:

  • the services we provide;
  • the costs of those services;
  • the standard of those services;
  • the facts that inform the important decisions we take; and
  • the reasoning that informs our decisions.

In preparing this publication scheme Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary has analysed requests for information received since 1 January 2005 to establish types of information where there has been a sustained level of public interest in accessing that information. Additionally we have consulted with police forces throughout the United Kingdom to identify further types of information that have regularly been the subject of requests. In analysing this information we have identified a number of areas of information that we should proactively publish wherever possible and this is reflected in the composition of this version of the publication scheme.

We intend to continue to monitor levels of interest in information not included in the scheme and will seek to expand the scheme where it appears appropriate to proactively publish such information.
