Chief Constable of Sussex Police

The complainant requested Sussex Police’s flight logs for its drone unit during a specified time period in 2018. Sussex Police provided some of the requested information, but withheld the remainder, citing sections 31(1)(a), (b) and (c) (law enforcement) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Sussex Police was entitled to rely on sections 31(1)(a), (b) and (c) of FOIA to withhold the remaining information in scope of the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
