Christopher Stacey LL.B, LL.M made this Freedom of Information request to National Policing Improvement Agency
The request was successful.
From: Christopher Stacey LL.B, LL.M
17 April 2009
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000.
Firstly, I would like to know what the processes are for the
retention and removal of information on the Police National
Computer. #
Within this request, I would like to obtain the relevant documents
that set out the procedure by which information is initially
inserted on to the PNC, including what type of information (for
example, offences, allegations, suspicious). I would also like to
obtain the relevant documents which set out the circumstances by
which information on an individuals PNC record is, or can be,
removed.
Secondly, having contacted the NPIA Customer Support Team,
reference was made to the “Weeding Rules”. I was advised to make an
FOI request to obtain both the current Weeding Rules, as well as
the previous Weeding Rules which refer to the procedure prior to an
overhaul of the process a couple of years ago.
I would appreciate an acknowledgement of this and a response at
your earliest convenience, and within the 20 day limit.
Yours faithfully,
Christopher Stacey LL.B, LL.M
