Personal data requests
Request ID: FOI-1949-1718
Date published: 06 November 2017
You asked
According to a TfL Audit and Assurance Committee document:
“A revised policy on the disclosure of personal data to the police and other law enforcement agencies was approved by the Committee on 9 March 2015 and it is now fully implemented. A high level report on the operation of the policy is provided to the Committee on an annual basis.”
http://content.tfl.gov.uk/aac-20151208-part-1-item12-personal-disclosure-to-police-and-other-law-enforcement-agencies.pdf
I am writing to request copies of the two most recent such annual reports provided to the Committee.
If you consider that some information is exempt from disclosure, please cite the section of the FOIA you are using to redact information. In line with the spirit and intent of the legislation, please do not withhold information on a 'blanket' basis and ensure any redactions you make are sufficiently granular.
Where applying exemptions which contain a public interest text, please also explain, in line with the guiding principles of the Information Tribunal, how the public interest would be, or would be likely to be, materially prejudiced by disclosure.
I would prefer to receive all information in electronic format and in machine-readable formats (such as .xls) where applicable. I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this request
