Hampshire Constabulary

The complainant has requested information relating to any police incidents at a named residential property. Hampshire Constabulary refused to confirm or deny whether any information was held, citing Section 30(3) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hampshire Constabulary were entitled to rely on Section 30(3) to neither confirm nor deny holding the requested information, and the public interest lies with maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
