Thank you for your Freedom of Information (FOI) request of April 15 to the Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC). I confirm that your request has been handled under the FOI Act 2000 and that MOPAC does not hold information relating to your request. Please see our responses below:

1. Can you confirm if they have been in communication with the US based company Fusus (https://www.fusus.com/) and whether Fusus have approached you to sell their products – The Mayors Office for Policing and Crime has not had any communication with Fusus.

2. If so, can I see those communications such as emails, meeting minutes and any other related documents that show communication between them and Fusus and could I see any documents or emails that name Fusus.                                  MOPAC does not hold this information.

3. Do they have any plans to, or grant approval for local forces to, buy products from Fusus or similar companies to build a Real-Time Crime Centre or Fusion Centre, if so can I see them.                                                                                  MOPAC does not hold this information.

4. Has anyone there spoken to local authorities about using their CCTV and other infrastructure or infrastructure of local public services such as schools or hospitals for the development of a Real-Time Crime Centre or Fusion Centre.  MOPAC does not hold this information.
