Decisions on the release of any information held by the police is a matter for individual chief officers of police.

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, if the requester is not satisfied with the response that they have received from a police force, they have two options which they can follow:

(a) ask the force to conduct an internal review of their decision and if they remain dissatisfied then

(b) they should take the matter to the Information Commissioner.
