National Police Chiefs’ Council
The complainant has requested the criminal record of a deceased journalist. The National Police Chiefs’ Council (the “NPCC”) refused to provide the requested information citing sections 38 (1) (Health and safety) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40 is engaged in respect of a small amount of the withheld information. He finds that section 38 is not engaged. The Commissioner requires the NPCC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the criminal record, withholding the names of any third parties and any private addresses.
