National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC)

The complainant has requested correspondences between the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) Central Referral Unit and its Press Office regarding the complainant. The NPCC initially informed the complainant that it did not hold any relevant information. During the Commissioner’s investigation, the NPCC was able to locate some information within the scope of the request. Although this information was disclosed, the complainant expressed concerns that further information might be held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the NPCC has conducted adequate searches for the requested information and no additional information is held. The Commissioner does not require the NPCC to take any additional steps.
