Norfolk Constabulary
8 November 2017, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information relating to a section 34 Dispersal Notice. Norfolk Constabulary asked for confirmation of the requester’s identity which they declined to give. Norfolk Constabulary refused to deal with the request citing section 8(1)(b) of the FOIA (request for information). The Commissioner’s decision is that, in the circumstances of this case, Norfolk Constabulary was entitled to consider the request did not meet the criteria for a valid request at section 8(1)(b) of the FOIA without confirmation of the complainant’s identity. The Commissioner does not require Norfolk Constabulary to take any steps as a result of this decision.
FOI 8: Not upheld
