Devon and Cornwall Constabulary
19 January 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant has requested that Devon & Cornwall Police (‘D&CP’) confirm or deny whether it has used RIPA to intercept journalists’ communications data. D&CP refused to deal with the request stating that it was a question rather than a request for recorded information. The Commissioner’s decision is that it is a valid request and that D&CP should therefore provide a response. The Commissioner requires D&CP disclose the requested information or issue a refusal notice in compliance with section 17 of FOIA.
