ICO The complainant asked how and why given the Code of Conduct in place at the time, a serving Dyfed-Powys Police Officer could allegedly be found to be trespassing into his home, and allegedly conspiring in a theft of his personal belongings. He also wanted to know under what authority a named DPP employee had issued instructions to a police constable to allegedly break the law. Dyfed Powys Police (DPP) refused to either confirm or deny whether it held any relevant information citing section 30(3), section 40(5)(a) and 40(5)(b)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner’s decision is that DPP has correctly relied on section 30(3) and section 40(5)(a) of the Act. The Commissioner orders no steps.
