Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)

The complainant has requested the report from an investigation into a death in custody. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (“IOPC”) withheld the requested information, citing section 30(1) (investigations and proceedings) and section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the IOPC was entitled to rely on section 30(1)(a)(i) to withhold the information in its entirety. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
