   • Answer - I am unable to release the information requested as the information is exempt from disclosure by virtue of section 31 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.  Section 31(1)(a) states that the information is exempt if its’ disclosure would be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime. The system is designed to protect staff and members of the public from harm and disclosure of specifications of that system are likely to interfere with this protection. On balance the public interest in disclosing specifications of the system are not outweighed by the public interest in not doing so.
