National Police Chiefs’ Council
The complainant has requested a deceased individual’s criminal records from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (‘the NPCC’). The NPCC would neither confirm nor deny holding the information, citing section 38(2) (Health and safety). The Commissioner’s decision is that the NPCC was not entitled to rely on the exemption cited. The Commissioner requires the NPCC to confirm or deny whether the requested information is held. If information is held, it must either be disclosed or the NPCC must issue a fresh refusal notice in compliance with section 17 of FOIA.FOI 38: Complaint upheld
