Dorset Police

The complainant made a request for information relating to a statement issued by Dorset Constabulary on the reduction of casualties and road safety. The Commissioner’s decision is that Dorset Constabulary has not demonstrated that the request was vexatious and was therefore not entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse it. The Commissioner requires Dorset Constabulary to issue a fresh response to the request which does not rely upon section 14(1).
