Code of Ethics
Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),
I would like to see a copy of the MPS Police Code of Ethics or similar. I understand that the CoP has developed one but I am unsure if the MPS has adopted it or amended this.
Additionally, I would like a copy of the MPS employee privacy notice or fair processing notice.
I would also like a copy of any document that issues conditions on the use of MPS issued devices i.e. restrictions on personal usage etc.
Lastly, may I please request a copy of an employee contract with standard clauses.
Yours faithfully,
Abdul Rahman
