Update on previous actions

6
National ANPR data retention period
Neil Winterbourne provided an overview of a detailed paper that had been circulated prior
to the meeting which proposes a 1 year pilot with a view to establishing 7 years data
retention period. Representatives were in agreement in relation to the value of ANPR data
to investigative and intelligence work. The most significant challenge is in establishing that
it is proportionate to extend the period for data retention in the context of Data Protection
Act Principles and Human Rights.
Representatives for the Information Commissioner and Surveillance Camera Commissioner
require more time to assess the proposal and indicate that a response will be provided by
10th July.
A decision on retention will be deferred until the next National User Group.
The Met Police currently retain data for greater than 2 years pending a decision regarding
retention time periods. LEA should be advised of this retention to enable their compliance
with CPIA.

Update on Compliance/Capability Project

throughout the year and a report and effective practice guide will be produced later in the
year to support LEA in securing maximum benefits from the new National ANPR Service
(NAS).
