On 28 March 2014, Mr Scott asked the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Scotland (Police Scotland) for the number of officers, by rank, deployed within the Scottish Borders Council area on a number of shifts between specific times on specific dates.
Police Scotland withheld the information on the basis that disclosure would substantially prejudice the prevention and detection of crime and the apprehension and prosecution of offenders.
The Commissioner investigated and found that Police Scotland were entitled to withhold the information requested.
