Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant requested information about a database of drill rap gang music videos. The Metropolitan Police Service refused to disclose the requested information citing the section 30(1) (investigations and proceedings), section 38(1) (health and safety) and section 40(2) (personal information) FOIA exemptions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Metropolitan Police Service was entitled to rely on section 30(1) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner also decided that the Metropolitan Police Service had breached section 17(1) FOIA as it took longer than 20 working days to provide inform the complainant which exemptions it was relying on. No steps are required.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 30: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fs50850966
