Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many personnel of cloud service providers that hold police data have been vetted to Non-Police Personnel Vetting Level 2 (Full) or above since 2017; and which police force or body carried out that vetting.

The Government does not routinely monitor the number of personnel vetted by individual police forces or policing bodies.

As the police are operationally independent it is the responsibility of Chief Constables to ensure that appropriate security and vetting arrangements are in place for personnel who have access to police information and systems, including those employed by suppliers.
