Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police

The complainant has requested information about an officer conduct investigation from West Yorkshire Police (“WYP”). WYP denied holding some of the information and refused to provide the remainder citing sections 30(1)(a) (Investigations and proceedings), 31(1)(g)(2)(a)(b) (Law Enforcement) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA; it subsequently removed reliance on section 31. During the Commissioner’s investigation, WYP disclosed further information but maintained reliance on sections 30(1) and 40(2) of FOIA for the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that WYP handled the request appropriately. He does not require any steps.
