Cumbria Constabulary

  • Date 14 March 2017
  • Sector Police and criminal justice
  • Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 24: Not upheld

The complainant has requested copies of the training materials used by Cumbria Constabulary in its Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (“WRAP”) training sessions. Cumbria Constabulary refused to disclose this information under the exemptions provided by sections 24(1) (national security), 31(1) (law enforcement) and 40 (personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cumbria Constabulary was entitled to rely on section 24(1) to refuse to disclose the requested information. However, she found procedural breaches relating to the time Cumbria Constabulary took to deal with the request and the internal review. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2017/0098 withdrawn.
