Chief Constable of Hertfordshire
The complainant requested information from Hertfordshire Constabulary for correspondence between senior officers and the Home Secretary, also for Public Order Incident Command logs completed during climate protests. Hertfordshire Constabulary said it held no information to parts one and two of the request. It confirmed it holds information to parts three and four but cited sections 31(1)(a) and 31(1)(b) (law enforcement) and also section 40(2) (personal data) and subsequently section 38(1)(b) (health and safety) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is Hertfordshire Constabulary was entitled to rely on sections 31(1)(a) and (b) of FOIA to refuse to provide the information requested. Therefore, the Commissioner does not require Hertfordshire Constabulary to take any steps as a result of this decision.FOI 31(1)(a): Complaint not upheld FOI 31(1)(b): Complaint not upheld
