West Midlands Police

The complainant has requested information about crime reports which mention certain social media sites. West Midlands Police (‘WMP’) disclosed some information, but refused to provide summaries of individual reports, on the grounds that the request was vexatious within the meaning of section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that WMP was not entitled to rely on section 14(1) to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires WMP to issue a fresh response to the request dated 9 December 2019, which does not rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.

FOI 14: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: fs50900916
