Staffordshire Police

The complainant requested information about referrals of police and police staff to the Prevent counter-extremism programme. Staffordshire Police would neither confirm nor deny (‘NCND’) holding any information, citing sections 24(2) (national security), 30(3) (investigations), 31(3) (law enforcement) and 40(5) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Staffordshire Police was entitled to rely on section 23(5) 24(2) to NCND holding the requested information. As he has found section 24(2) to be correctly engaged, he has not deemed it necessary to consider Staffordshire Police’s reliance on the other NCND provisions cited. No steps are required as a result of this notice. Keywords/themes: Terrorists
