West Mercia Police
17 October 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant made a number of requests for information to Warwickshire Police in which she requested information relating to internal / external investigations and misconduct / gross misconduct notices and a named police operation. Warwickshire Police relied on the section 14(1) exemption of the FOIA in refusing the requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that Warwickshire Police applied the section 14(1) FOIA exemption to these requests correctly. However she also found that Warwickshire Police had delayed its initial response to the requests for too long and therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require Warwickshire Police to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 14: Not upheld
