Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire

The complainant has requested information related to a police investigation into a former Chair of the West Yorkshire Police Authority from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire (the “OPCC”). The OPCC would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding any information, citing the exemption at section 31(3) (law enforcement) of the FOIA as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that it was entitled to do so. No steps are required.
