Contingency plans related to data sharing and Brexit

The request was refused by National Police Chiefs' Council.

Hello,

Under the FOI Act, I am applying for information related to the following:

- your contingency planning related to potential loss of access to European Union data sharing tools like Europol, the European Arrest Warrant System and the European Criminal Records system after Brexit in March 2019.

- your contingency planning related to the potential changes and restrictions regarding the transfer of personal data between the EU and the UK following Brexit in March 2019.

If you wish to exercise your section 16 obligations to reframe this inquiry, you can reach me on +44 7894 005 118.

Yours faithfully,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NUMBER: 000170/18

A Freedom of Information request has been received by the NPCC on 27/09/2018.

The NPCC is not yet a designated body covered by the terms of the Freedom of Information legislation. Following the dissolution of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), designation under the Freedom of Information Act did not automatically transfer across to the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC).

For these reasons it is important that you clearly understand that not being bound by the legislation means that the NPCC cannot apply exemptions to disclosure, engage the fees regulations and there is no recourse from the applicant’s perspective to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

NPCC Acknowledgement:

The NPCC will respond encompassing information held by NaCTSO, that for the purposes of FOI, fall under the NPCC umbrella.

It is the intention of the NPCC to comply with the spirit of the legislation and I hope to be in a position to respond to your within the statutory timescale of 20 working days subject to the provisions of the Act.

In the unlikely event that the NPCC is unable to meet the 20 working day deadline, you will be informed as soon as possible and given a revised time-scale for response.

Kind regards.

Sherry

Dear National Police Chiefs' Council,

Thank you for your response.

Could I please narrow my request to:
- memos, submissions or reports
- produced or drafted in the past year
- on the subject of a possible loss of access after we leave the European Union to the key policing instruments you cite in your letter.

Yours faithfully,

Helen Thomas

National Police Chiefs' Council
