- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant requested information from Suffolk Constabulary relating to suspects who have been wanted by Suffolk Constabulary for the longest period of time and the number of outstanding arrest warrants. Suffolk Constabulary confirmed it held some of the requested information. It provided some information within the scope of the request but refused to provide the remainder, citing sections 40(2) (personal information) and 44(1) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has investigated Suffolk Constabulary’s application of section 40(2) to the withheld names of the wanted persons and has concluded that the information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of that exemption. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
