Northumbria Police
5 May 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested copies of all the correspondence and communications between Northumbria Police and the Independent Police Complaints Commission regarding a rape investigation. Northumbria Police withheld the information citing section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Northumbria Police have applied section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA appropriately. However, the Commissioner considers that Northumbria Police has breached section 17(1) (refusal of a request). The Commissioner does not require Northumbria Police to take any steps as a result of this decision.
FOI 17: Upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
