Cheshire Constabulary Databases

1. Do you hold a list or database of members of the public based on negative interactions with your authority? (This may include - but is not limited to - a list of known complainants, or FOI applicants, or people who may have had altercations with council staff, or people who may be deemed to pose a threat to staff.)

2. If so, how many databases do you hold? Please give the name or title of each list / database.

3. If so, how many people are on each database?

4. If so, what categories of information are held (e.g. name, address, spouse, age, car registration, etc)?

5. If so, what are the ages of the youngest and oldest people on each database?

6. If so, with the exclusion of personally identifying information, please provide a copy of the database(s), including the reasons for each person's inclusion.

In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act our response is provided below;

The Cheshire Constabulary does not maintain any databases based purely on negative interactions with members of the public either with the police or other agencies.

The Professional Standards department do utilise a database for the recording and administration of complaints made by members of the public against police officers in line with our statutory requirements under the Police Reform Act .

Information relating to the numbers and details of complaints are published by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, see the following web link:
