Police – Disclosure of information. The claimant left the police force for another job with a regulatory body before an internal investigation into his misconduct was completed. The force through its Assistant Chief Officer GH sent on his behalf sent a standard reference which did not answer questions in the regulatory body's reference request raising the claimant's sickness and disciplinary record.
