Personal Information
Subject to certain exemptions, you have a right to be told whether any information is held about you and a right to a copy of that information.
Your Rights
Subject to certain exemptions, you have a right to be told whether any information is held about you and a right to a copy of that information. The Chief Officer of Police will only give that information if he is satisfied of your identity. He does not have to give any information identifying someone else, unless that person agrees. If you think that information might be held about you which may identify another person, you may want to get that person's agreement to you being given information and send it with your application.
Evidence of Character
To exercise your rights under the subject access provisions of the Data Protection 1998 will not provide you with a "Certificate of Good Conduct" or "Police Clearance Certificate."
The Chief Officer's rights
The Chief Officer of Police may deny access to information where the Act allows but the main exemptions in relation to information held on Police computers are where the information is held for:
- the prevention of crime
- the apprehension or prosecution of offenders
- and giving you the information would be likely to prejudice any of the purposes.
Fee
Payment must be made in pounds sterling to the value of £10. Cheques etc., should be made payable to Humberside Police.
The application form

Section 2
