Peter Neyroud, the chief constable who set up and headed the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA), has been made an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

The agency is due to be disbanded next year. One of its last achievements was to set up a digital interviewing framework to speed up the interviewing process using suppliers Capita Secure Information Systems, Damovo UK and UltraElectronics Audiosoft.

This has been criticised by organisations ranging from CNIL to Microsoft, all of whom have expressed concerns that it's difficult to tell which data Google collects and how it's used. Now the Information Commissioner's Office is investigating whether Google's privacy policy is compliant with UK law. Are you worried that Google knows too much about you?
