Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police

The complainant has requested information relating to a named police officer.
West Yorkshire Police (“WYP”) refused to confirm or deny that it held the requested information, citing sections 40(5) (personal information) and 38(2) (health and safety) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that WYP was entitled to rely on section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA to refuse to confirm or deny holding the requested information.
The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
