The Information Commissioner’s Office will not be taking any enforcement action against Lancashire Police over its disclosure of missing mother Nicola Bulley’s personal information, the force has said.

Nicola, 45, disappeared whilst walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire, on January 27.

Her body was found in the river on February 19 by a passerby.

A huge police search in the weeks previous, which involved police divers, helicopters, sniffer dogs and drones found no body.

The cause of death has not yet been established.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has also completed its investigation into Lancashire Constabulary’s contact with Nicola Bulley.

The watchdog said its probe focused on the ‘the actions and decisions of the police officer who attended Ms Bulley’s address as part of a multi-agency team’.

IOPC regional director Catherine Bates said: ‘Our investigation has identified important learning for the force in relation to the policing role in multi-agency vehicles, which aims to assist the force in their response to similar calls in the future.

‘Our thoughts remain with Ms Bulley’s family and friends, and all those affected by her death.’

The investigation also identified ‘two areas of learning’ for the officer relating to when to activate their body-worn video and recording information on police systems.
