- Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld
The complainant has requested details of complaints against officers regarding use of Body Worn Video (“BWV”) from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS disclosed most of the requested information but refused the remainder citing sections 30(1)(a) (Investigations and proceedings), 31(1)(a) (Law Enforcement) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA.
The complainant did not contest the citing of sections 30 and 31, which were only used to withhold a very small amount of information. Where cited, the Commissioner is satisfied that section 40 is properly engaged. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
