---------------------
If you are to go down this route you should ensure you have the police
registered as recipients and you should make it clear to students, staff,
directors, sponsors, etc (I'm assuming your policy would not be confined to
students) that you would release these details (only a "yea" would be a
disclosure as such) to the police even where the request is not relation to
crime detection and prevention.
Even then I cannot guarantee that an individual or the OIC would not take any
action against you if a police officer was searching for someone in a private
capacity.
