Potential Violent Warning Markers

Dear Sir or Madam,

I should like to know if the council uses Potential Violent Warning
markers (or similar description) against its citizens in any of its
databases. In particular if these markers are used: 1 how many
databases are they used in? 2 who is the senior nominated person in
the council who makes the decision that a person should have such a
marker added to his/her records? 3 what is the mean time to review
the presence of these markers, also what is the shortest and
longest times between reviews? 4 how many such markers are current
at the present time (or if a date is required, 1/9/08)? 5 how many
of the persons with such markers have you written to, to inform
them that a marker exists against their personal record? 6 if/when
you have written to them, on how many occasions have you explained
the reason(s) why they have a marker against their record?

Yours faithfully,

Wendy
