Clarifications to reduce burden
I do not require names of attendees below Chief Officer rank. Roles/titles are sufficient.
I"m not asking for every email about logistics; agendas/minutes/briefings suffice.

I"m happy to narrow the timeframe to 1 Jan 2022–present if needed.

Your request for information has now been considered. In respect of Section 1(1)(a) of the Act we can confirm that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) does not hold information in relation to your requests. Enquiries made in relation to your request failed to locate any records or documents relevant to your request based on the information you have provided. 

Please note this response is in conjunction with the following caveat:

The only contact that PSNI have had with the National Association of Muslim Police was back in the summer of 2022.This was a quick query from ourselves asking for some advice around police interactions with the Muslim community as we were attempting to prepare a guide for officers and staff around the Muslim culture/faith/traditions.  There was no real interaction bar a very brief phone call and short email initiating contact and as such there are no records of such contact.

Accordingly, we have determined that the Police Service of Northern Ireland does not hold the information to which you seek access.
