What must be redacted before release?

Every page of a release read for names, addresses and sensitive details, with each proposed redaction shown and its reason given, before anything goes out.

See it worked through

Hundreds of pages.
One missed name.

A disclosure can run to hundreds of pages of emails, minutes and scans. One unredacted name or phone number can cause real harm.

Read line by line.

Officers check every page by hand, often against a tight legal deadline.

Details hide everywhere.

Names sit in email signatures, handwritten notes, attachments and scanned forms.

Reasons applied unevenly.

Two officers can redact the same detail differently, or give different reasons for it.

What the AI reads.

Every page in the release, read for details that identify a person or should not be published.
