How do you deal with the situation where a data subject has been informed,
by the police during an ongoing investigation, of the personal data obtained
from your organisation, as that particular person and that information is no
longer of any relevance to them or the investigation, or its detail was
disclosed during interview?

Many investigations are of a short duration. How do you become aware of when
an investigation is completed. Do you maintain a link with the police, do
they inform you, or do you set a specific time limit within your
organisation, say: an exemption was valid for only one week/month after it
was claimed?
