23 February 2015, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested information about a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS initially refused to confirm or deny whether it holds the information citing section 40(5) (personal information) of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it changed its position to section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) is properly engaged. He does not require any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
