West Midlands Police
The complainant requested information relating to the reason police attended at a specified location at a given date and time. West Midlands Police refused to provide the requested information, citing sections 40(2) (personal information) and 30(1) (investigations and proceedings conducted by public authorities) of the FOIA. The Commissioner investigated its application of section 30(1) and considered whether there was a procedural breach of section 17 (refusal of request). The Commissioner’s decision is that West Midlands Police was entitled to rely on section 30(1) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information. She is also satisfied that it complied with its obligations under section 17. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.FOI 17: Complaint not upheld FOI 30: Complaint not upheld
