Humberside Police
The complainant has requested information about any predictive policing programmes that Humberside Police is currently using or trialling. Humberside Police confirmed that it was trialling a predictive algorithm but it refused to disclose any information about it, citing sections 31(1)(a) and (b) (Law enforcement) of FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it agreed to withdraw its application of section 31 to all but one part of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that Humberside Police has not demonstrated that either section 31(1)(a) or (b) is engaged in respect of the remaining part of the request. He also finds that Humberside Police breached sections 10(1) and 17 of FOIA by failing to state why the exemption applied within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires Humberside Police issue a fresh response to parts (2) – (7) of the request, stating, for each part, whether recorded information is held, and if it is held, disclosing it.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 31: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld
