The complainant has requested details about the Project Alpha database from the Metropolitan Police Service (the ‘MPS’). The MPS provided some of the requested information but refused the remainder citing the exemptions at sections 31(1)(a) and (b) (Law enforcement) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 31(1) is properly engaged and that the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption. No steps are required.
