Police Service of Northern Ireland
30 August 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested a report produced for the then Royal Ulster Constabulary (the RUC) in 1980. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed that it held the requested information but stated that it was exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 23(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that PSNI was entitled to rely on section 23(1) to refuse the request. The Commissioner also finds that PSNI failed to comply with the statutory time for compliance under section 10(1) and section 17(1). The Commissioner does not require PSNI to take any steps as a result of this decision.
