This will help to prevent crime and better safeguard the public. The chief constable (or commissioner) of each police force is a registered data controller (‘a controller’). Through their nominated National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) leads, they will be the joint controllers for all police data (law enforcement data) held in LEDS. The NPCC, as established under section 22a of the Police Act 1996, will determine the purpose for processing the data and the means. They are jointly accountable for the completion of this DPIA. The Home Office are responsible for the development and management of LEDS infrastructure, which will be hosted using the skills and expertise of a main system data processor (‘a processor’). LEDS will be hosted on a cloud-based platform, which will enable LEDS to facilitate requests for data by authorised users of the service. Authorised users process the data in LEDS under a lawful bases or a lawful purpose. LEDS involves multiple system and services, each providing access to separately owned datasets. It is the responsibility of the controller to determine how that data will be processed. The Home Office will manage the data within LEDS, as directed, by the various controllers. The Home Office, as owners of some data, will also be a controller. LEDS will have multiple controllers and data flow processors, acting on behalf of the Controller. Each role will be legally determined and enforced using joint-controller agreements, data processing contracts and where necessary, memorandums of understanding. A LEDS Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was completed and published in July 2018 and has remained under review since that time. As set out in the Data Protection Act 2018 a DPIA is required if “processing is likely to result in a high risk to rights and freedoms of individuals.’ The specific aims of the LEDS DPIA are: 1) To ensure that all data protection risks have been identified and to review the status of the Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS) in the context of recent legislation and case law. 2) To ensure consistency and support throughout the police service and wider law enforcement in how data is captured, used, stored and deleted. 3) To ensure consistency and support throughout other law enforcement agencies with access to the data in LEDS. 4 4) To ensure compliance with Data Protection Act (DPA) 2018 5) To ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 6) To ensure compliance with Human Rights Act 1998. 7) To take account of European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) 8) To follow guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) 9) To ensure the principles of data protection by design have been considered in the design and implementation of the LEDS. Law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom currently make use of a wide variety of information systems at a local level. They collect and process data in connection with their law enforcement and policing purposes. It has also been recognised that there is great value in being able to share relevant information across law enforcement agencies in a timely and effective fashion. The two national systems under consideration here are: • The Police National Computer (PNC), was introduced in 1974 and holds personal data and other information relating to individuals, including arrests, charges, summons & court disposals (including convictions), warnings and whether a person is wanted or missing. There is also other information about vehicles and stolen property. Some of the data available on PNC has been migrated from other systems. • The Police National Database (PND), was introduced in 2009 and receives intelligence data, predominantly uploaded by police forces, concerning crimes, intelligence and public protection. This also includes custody information and custody images. Both are owned and managed by the Home Office. LEDS will relocate both onto a single technology platform, enabled by a cloud commodity provider. This relationship will be managed using a Data Processing Contract as required under s.59(5)-(7) DPA. It is clear that the integration of data, alongside increased search functionalities presents the potential for significant data protection risks. It is essential for the police service and authorised law enforcement organisations to ensure that the collection and use of data is and remains specific, explicit and legitimate for policing and law enforcement purposes. Further access to this data must be compatible with the purpose for which is was collected as required under Part 3 s.36(3)(b) GDPR. The risks posed to processing personal data and their mitigations are detailed below in the Identification and assessment of risks section. Article 35 of the GDPR details the conditions for completing a DPIA. Section 64 DPA will also apply in relation to law enforcement processing. This states that where processing of data is likely to result in high risks to the rights of individuals a DPIA must be produced. The high-level risks associated with processing data in LEDS have been appropriately mitigated to reduce any potential impacts on individuals. As a result, this DPIA is not required to be submitted to the Information Commissioner for prior consultation as detailed under s.65(2) DPA. 5 The nature of the processing Introduction LEDS will provide law enforcement agencies with current and joined up information, on- demand and at the point of need, in order to prevent crime and better safeguard the public. In addition, it will: • Rationalise national information systems • Enhance the national information dataset • Deliver more service capabilities from the national information dataset; and • Reduce the cost of providing and maintaining national policing information.

  • Metropolitan Borough of Wirral Economic
    METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF WIRRAL ECONOMIC REGENERATION AND PLANNING STRATEGY SELECT COMMITTEE – 15th NOVEMBER 2005 CABINET – 16th NOVEMBER 2005 REPORT OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE/DIRECTOR OF CORPORATE SERVICES _____________________________________________________________ CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED SEAFORTH RIVER TERMINAL AND CHANNEL DEEPENING 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The Council has been consulted on an application by Mersey Docks and Harbour Company to the Secretary of State for Transport for a Harbour Revision Order for the construction of a new deep-water berth at Seaforth Docks and deepening of the outer approach channel to the Estuary. The deep-water berth will enable a new generation of container ships - which will be too large to access the enclosed dock system – to load and discharge their cargoes while berthed in the Estuary itself. Some additional dredging is required to facilitate the use of the new facility by these larger vessels. 1.2 The Draft Harbour Revision Order was issued for comment on the 18th August for a six- week period. The Environmental Statement (ES) which accompanies the application was however not issued to consultees until early September. The ES is a lengthy document – 873 pages in length including appendices - and it was not possible to finalise a response and secure the endorsement of Members before the deadline for comments (30th September). As such, officers lodged a holding objection with the Department for Transport, as a way of registering Wirral’s interest in the application and allow time to prepare a more considered response. 1.3 Officers have now had an opportunity to assess the Environmental Statement in more detail, and have identified a number of issues (particularly in relation to impacts on coastal processes) which require further clarification with the applicants.

  • Policing and Detection in Victorian Journalism and the Rise of Detective Fiction, C
    The Police and the Periodical: Policing and Detection in Victorian Journalism and the Rise of Detective Fiction, c. 1840-1900 Samuel Joseph Saunders A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2018 Acknowledgements My overwhelming thanks go to Dr. Jonathan Cranfield for his support, guidance, advice and, above all, his seemingly endless supply of patience, which never wavers no matter how much I have tried it. I’d also like to thank Professor Glenda Norquay for her supervision and wonderfully directed advice. My gratitude also to the School of English at Liverpool John Moores University for providing funding, support and teaching opportunities, and to all of the staff at the Museum of Policing in Cheshire, the National Library of Scotland and the Parliamentary Archive in Westminster for all of their help to a student who often didn’t know quite what he was doing. Thank you also to my entire family for their continued support and resolute optimism, and I am indebted to my in-laws who continue to put a roof over me. For all of the above, and for everything else, I thank Emma, without whom I would never have got started. 1 Abstract This thesis explores the connections between the nineteenth century periodical press and the development of detective fiction, between approximately 1840 and 1900. It argues that these two Victorian developments were closely interrelated, and that each had significant impacts on the other which has hitherto gone underexplored in academic scholarship. The thesis argues that the relationship between the police and the periodical press solidified in the mid-Victorian era, thanks to the simultaneous development of a nationwide system of policing as a result of the passage of the 1856 County and Borough Police Act and the abolition of the punitive ‘taxes on knowledge’ throughout the 1850s and early 1860s.
