The complainant requested details of substantiated officer complaints from the Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’). Having initially relied on section 12(1)(cost limit) and 40(2)(personal information) of the FOIA to forego disclosure, the MPS changed its position during the Commissioner’s investigation and provided the requested information other than officers’ names, which it continued to withhold under section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) is engaged. No steps are required.
