- Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant requested information about a police dog biting incident which occurred on 14 November 2020. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (“the IOPC”) disclosed some of the information requested through provision of a redacted referral form. The IOPC relied on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold information which identified the individual concerned and included health information and criminal offence data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the IOPC correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
