Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information about arrests and investigations related to drill music from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS advised that some of the information is not held, and that compliance with the remainder of the request would exceed the cost limit at either 12(1) or 12(2) (Cost of compliance) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the civil standard of the balance of probabilities, some of the information is not held. He also finds that, where cited, the MPS was entitled to rely on section 12 of the FOIA. There was no breach of section 16(1) (Advice and assistance) and no steps are required.

FOI 16: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint not upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: ic-79467
