17 October 2016, Police and criminal justice
The complainant requested information from West Mercia Police relating to the number of misconduct / gross misconduct notices issued to its officers and the number of external police forces West Mercia Police was investigating. The police relied on the section 14(1) exemption of the FOIA in refusing the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that West Mercia Police applied the section 14(1) exemption to this request correctly. However she also found that West Mercia Police had delayed its initial response to the request for too long and therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require West Mercia Police to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
FOI 10: Upheld FOI 14: Not upheld
