Chief Constable Commissioner for the Metropolis (Metropolitan Police Service)

The complainant has requested information about Operation Ocelot from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS refused to provide the requested information citing sections 30(1)(a) (Investigations and proceedings), 38(1) (Health and safety) and 40(2) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 30(1)(a) is properly engaged. He does find a breach of section 10(1) in respect of timeliness. No steps are required.
