Forgive me if anything has been said about this already (which I have
missed) but I have just come across a revised Data Protection policy
from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) dated October 2006.
It introduces a new form for police to use to request personal data from
data controllers under Section 29 of the DPA and says that this form has
been developed in conjunction with the Information Commissioner.
The whole of the new policy can be found at:
http://www.acpo.police.uk/asp/policies/Data/ACPODPMoGV1.06.pdf
and the form is introduced on page 58. It is a much longer form than the
old single page one and includes a section requiring a response from the
relevant data controller.
