Mobile Fingerprinting

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Sussex Police should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Sussex Police,

My name is Manasa Narayanan. I am writing to you because I wish to get information on the use of mobile fingerprinting by the Sussex Police.

After trialing mobile fingerprinting technology in 2018 under the stop and scan scheme, it seems to have been rolled out across England. I want to know if:

(1) Sussex Police use mobile fingerprinting service? And has it ever employed it at any time since fingerprinting services were tested and rolled? If yes, for what period has it ran?

(2) If it has, how many times has it been employed? Please provide a breakup by year, starting from whenever it was first rolled to the present day

(3) Could you also provide a breakup of people on which it was employed by nationality, gender and visa status?

(4) Of the people on which the service was used, how many were subsequently arrested, detained and/or deported? And on what counts? Again, a breakup by year.

(5) I also need access to the latest privacy impact assessment for holding of this information

I wish for this information to be sent to me digitally.

Yours faithfully,

Manasa

Sussex Police

Date: 9/5/22
