Hertfordshire Constabulary

The complainant has requested copies of correspondence between senior officers and the Home Secretary, as well as specific public order incident command logs about climate activist protests, from Hertfordshire Constabulary. Hertfordshire Constabulary said some of the information was not held, which the complainant did not challenge. It would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding the remaining information, citing sections 23(5) (Information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters), 24(2) (National security) and 31(3) (Law enforcement) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not find any of the exemptions to be engaged. He requires Hertfordshire Constabulary to confirm or deny whether the public order incident command logs are held. If they are, it should either disclose them or issue a fresh refusal notice in line with section 17 of FOIA.
