Security of personal data?

You might be interested that I sent the following to public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk (the Independent Police Complaints Commission told me that this was the correct address to use) on 14Nov2007. So far no response!?!
---------------------------------------------------------------
"I have been told that this is the address to use for questions about policing standards, if not please will you redirect me?
I see in various articles that Police forces are now using (or about to use) Blackberry devices to access data including the Police National Computer when out in the street. Previously this data had higher protection by only being accessible when within a Police Station.
Who is responsible for auditing the usage of such devices from a security point of view?
Working in IT I understand more of the risks than many other people will."
-------------------------------------------------------------
I'll resend it and see if I get any response this time.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
