Metropolitan Police Service

The complainant has requested information about “covert profiles” from the Metropolitan Police Service (the “MPS”). The MPS would neither confirm nor deny (“NCND”) holding the requested information, citing sections 23(5) (Information supplied by, or concerning, certain security bodies), 24(2) (National security), 31(3) (Law enforcement) and 40(5) (Personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that sections 23(5) and 24(2) were cited correctly so he did not consider the other exemptions. No steps are required. Keywords/themes: Alpha; Profiling

FOI 24: Complaint not upheld FOI 23: Complaint not upheld
