West Midlands Police

The complainant has requested information about non-crime hate incidents from West Midlands Police (‘WMP’). WMP disclosed summary information, but refused to disclose logs of individual incidents, citing sections 30(1) (Investigations and proceedings), 31(1) (Law enforcement), 38(1) (Health and safety) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 30(1)(a) was applied correctly to withhold the incident logs. However, it breached section 17(3) of FOIA by failing to cite valid exemptions in its initial response to the request.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 30: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 282573
