PUBLIC-DOMAIN Unmarked
Good Morning,

Thank-you for your email requesting documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982

At the outset, I should explain that the role of the Freedom of Information Officer for Victoria Police is to receive and process requests made under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act)  on behalf of the Chief Commissioner and to provide responses to those requests in terms of the provision of documents. 

This does not extend to the provision of information or the answering of questions. If you wish to lodge a formal request for documents under the Act, please consider the following information which is available on our website  -  http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp...

Please note:  Any request for documents or videos are not investigated until a request and payment has been received

How to make a request:

•             You may make a request by sending a letter or application form requesting access to documents together with a cheque or money order for the FOI application fee $28.90.
•             If payment of the application fee would cause hardship, then please provide evidence that you qualify to have this fee waived eg. a Centrelink Healthcare card.
•             You will also need to provide proof of identification (ie. a driver's licence or passport).
•             Identification numbers (i.e Drivers Licence or Centrelink numbers) are not sufficient forms of identification, and we require copies of these documents to verify identity •             Your application should set out clearly the document(s) you require from Victoria Police, as well as providing sufficient detail to enable the document(s) you are seeking to be identified.
•             Alternatively, you can lodge a request online via the Victorian Government Freedom of Information website:  http://www.foi.vic.gov.au/home/how+to+ap...

What happens when Victoria Police receive your request:

•             Victoria Police must respond to you with its decision on your request in writing as soon as practicable.
•             The Act does allow for an extension of time in some circumstances.
•             The Act requires Victoria Police to consult with third parties about your request if the information contained in the relevant documents falls within certain exemptions.
•             This can include if the relevant documents contain personal information about another person.
•             Victoria Police is not required to consult where it is not practicable; would cause distress; is likely to endanger the life or physical safety of a person or is otherwise unreasonable in the circumstances.
•             Where Victoria Police must consult, it may extend the time for processing the request in accordance with section 21(2)(a) of the Act.
•             Please note: As part of the consultation process, your name and a brief description of your request will be provided to any person or body with whom we must consult.

Review of Decisions:

•             If Victoria Police refuses you access to the documents sought, you can appeal to the Office of the Information Commissioner (OVIC) for a review of the decision.
•             You must do so within 28 days of the date you were notified of the decision.
•             The OVIC has 30 days to conduct its review, unless you agree to an extended period in writing.
•             The lodgement of a request for a review is not subject to any fees or costs. For further information see www.ovic.vic.gov.au •             If you wish to appeal OVIC's decision to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal you must do so within 60 days of the date you were notified of OVIC's decision.

Thank-you

Dear Victoria Police,

Could I please have a copy of the CCTV images from an incident I was involved in at the Coffee Barn and Bistro in Lyndhurst Victoria on the 25th of October 2018?
Could I also have copies of statements, court documents and any other information between myself and Mr Roger Hensman?
