Hi Tim

 

They should have a form … our local police force does (they call it a section 29 form) they complete it and sign it just confirming what they want, why they want it, under what legislation etc.

 

We’ve had info requested a couple of times and have disclosed on the basis that actually there was nothing particularly sensitive and they seemed to have a genuine need for it

 

I just keep a copy of the form and the info I send them in case I need to justify what I’ve done at a later date

 

Regards

 

Tara

Subject: [data-protection] Police request

 

I have just had a request from a police officer for information about a former student in relation to an on-going investigation. The data we have is not really highly personal as they had no issues whilst at the College but it does raise the question of what other institutions do with such requests? I have asked for a more formal approach that just a phone call to validate the request and will log it as a data protection incident but other than that I am at a bit of a loss.
