Key information

Request reference number: 746

Date of response:

Summary of request

You requested:

 

Please provide any information held by MOPAC regarding the existence, use, oversight, or funding of lists, databases, registers, or records maintained by the Metropolitan Police Service or other forces that categorise individuals as an "annoyance," "nuisance," "habitual caller," or similar term.

 

Specifically, I request:

 

Any knowledge or awareness MOPAC holds of such lists being created or used, including the names/titles under which they are known.

 

Any internal documents, reports, or correspondence relating to these lists or registers, including consideration of their legality, proportionality, or governance.

 

Any occasions where such lists have been raised with MOPAC through oversight, complaints, or strategic monitoring processes.

 

Any guidance, recommendations, or funding decisions by MOPAC that relate to the use or management of such lists by the Metropolitan Police Service.

 

If any information is exempt from disclosure, please provide the non-exempt material and specify the exemption relied upon for withholding the remainder.

 

Our response:

 

MOPAC does not hold any records in scope of your request.

 

MOPAC does not maintain any oversight of whether the MPS use vexatious lists or equivalent. That would be an operational matter which the MPS would handle independently of MOPAC.
