Answer
Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act (the Act). Under Section 8 (1)(b) of the Act you are required to provide your full name when submitting a request. The guidance in this area issued by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) states that "the requester must provide enough of their real name to give anyone reading that request a reasonable indication of their identity". Paragraph 25 of this guidance states that "Any variation of the requester's title or first name combined with their surname (e.g. Mr Smith or John Smith) will be sufficient to meet this requirement. However, a first name or surname provided in isolation, or a set of initials, will not". The link to this guidance can be found on the ICO's website below:
ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1164/recognising-a-request-made-under-the-foia.pdf
Also please note that the Act only covers recorded information held by an organisation, there are a number of questions you have submitted below that are not in relation to information that we may hold as your opening remark is for us to "advise and confirm" and many of the questions you ask are statements rather than requests for information. It is also not the role of the Police and Crime Commissioner or his office to be involved or to advise on the investigatory process which a number of your questions refer to; operational policing falls within the remit of the Chief Constable. We are also only able to provide information that we hold, we are unable to provide any information that Gwent Police hold in response to your request. If you would like to submit a request to Gwent Police then please contact them on foi@gwent.pnn.police.uk
I have included a link below to some guidance that is available on the ICO's website that may help you when making requests under the Act.

If you wish to make a complaint about the service you have received from Gwent Police then our Public Response Unit may be able to assist further, the contact details can be found on our website:

As your original request is not deemed to be valid under the Act, I have closed the request and a further response will not be sent.
Please could you review the request you have submitted based on my response above and submit a new FOI request, providing your full name and reviewing the questions you wish to submit, if required.
