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:
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.
