From January 2026 onwards, His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland (HMICS) is publishing all Freedom of Information (FOI) requests it receives and responses provided under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA). This change reflects the Scottish Government’s policy of proactively making FOI responses publicly available.
All information released in response to FOI requests will now be accessible on our website, supporting our commitment to openness, transparency and easier access to public information.
In line with data protection requirements, any personal details – such as names, email addresses, phone numbers or other identifying information – will be redacted before publication.
