Police and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire

The complainant has requested information in connection to a non-FOIA complaint that he made to the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire (the “PFCC”). The PFCC provided some information, said some was not held and withheld some citing section 31(1)(g) (by virtue of 31(2)(a) and (b)) (Law enforcement) of FOIA.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the PFCC handled the request appropriately. However, by failing to respond to the request within the statutory time limit, the PFCC breached sections 1(1) and 10(1) of FOIA. No steps are required.
