Ah, Antoinette,
but is it ‘just the crime’?? I know a couple of my local police
persons and they are told to put everything on the computer, even if it is a
warning for a misdemeanour…… There is no spent date either so it
just sits there gathering dust (or it did up here until they changed the rules
and started culling irrelevant information)

I believe it for the prospective employer
to exercise the decision/discretion about the proportionality to the
crime, not the Police, who should I believe should be simply recording the
facts. The fact is the crime happened; it is a historical fact that
should not be wiped as though it never happened.

Hmmmm ....... needs to be proportionate
to the crime. If the individual stole a piece of meat for 65p 45 years
ago and no further criminal activity recorded then one would definitely destroy
the “conviction information”.
On the other side of the coin, if you
have Ian Huntley who had several “unproved at the time” allegations
of indecent behaviour, yes I would be keeping that data along with the
conviction data for ever. Its not just “applying one rule for all
in this category” its about retention risk management and retention guidelines
issued around that risk assessment.
Lets hope the police modify their procedures to reflect this now they have won
their case. It would certainly go a long way in balancing information
& record management of public information proportionate to the crime.
