Dorset Police

The complainant has requested information from Dorset Police (“the Police”), in relation to the reduction of casualties on the road within the area and the data used to calculate these figures. The Police originally refused the request, citing section 14(1) of FOIA – vexatious or repeated request. Following on from the Commissioner issuing a decision notice, the Police issued a new response, providing the complainant with information which relates to the data used. Further information was provided by the Police in the internal review response. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the Police does not hold any further information relevant to the complainant’s request. As such, the Police has complied with section 1(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the Police to take any steps as a result of this decision notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2022/0377 struck out.
