Ask the police to provide you with a section 29(3) exemption form. The level of authority (signature on the form) can be determined by your organisation. e.g. Sgt/Insp/Supt. If that form is provided and you are content the reason for the exemption is valid and happy to provide the information then you may do so if you wish. If you still have reservations, or do not wish to provide the data ask the police for a court order to produce the information. Should you go down the court order route you may come under alittle pressure at the beginning as officers try to save themselves some work.
