- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested from Hampshire Constabulary (HC) information about police officers and staff who were arrested in the period 2015-2019. While HC disclosed the majority of the information in an anonymised format, it would not present it in the format the complainant required and it withheld some information, under section 40(2) (Personal information) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) was applied correctly. However, she found HC breached section 10(1) of the FOIA by exceeding the statutory time for compliance when responding to the request.
