Laptop Donations (454A/21)

While it is welcome that you are donating unused laptops to schools – as per today’s press release https://www.westmidlands-pcc.gov.uk/laptops-donated/ – I have some concerns about data security, particularly in light of the notebook stolen from a police car last year, endangering the safety of witnesses, which I would not wish to see repeated. Could you please therefore answer the following questions:
Do/did the hard disks contain(ed) data that is/was protectively marked or classified as OFFICIAL, SECRET or TOP SECRET?

Missing From Care Home (419A/21)
