Request

I am looking for information about how many times have the Scottish Policing Authority requested Police Scotland altered, reviewed and changed their records policy - all the consultations and decision-making process for the changes?

What were the reasons for alterations or changes? Who was involved in the approval and oversight of all this?

Subsequently you replied to our email on 26th February to clarify that you were referring to “Records management policy” also known as record retention. Looking from 2018 until now.
