Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service
The complainant has requested statistics relating to the identification of images received by the Metropolitan Police Service(the “MPS”) from 1 September 2020 to 31 August 2021. The Commissioner’s decision is that MPS was entitled to rely on section12(1) of the FOIA. There was no breach of section 16(1) (Advice and assistance). The MPS has failed to comply with its duty under section 1(1) of FOIA to issue a refusal notice “promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth working day following the date of receipt.” In failing to issue a response to the request within 20 working days, the Commissioner’s decision is that, the MPS has breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision.FOI 16: Complaint not upheld
