The Toronto Police Services Board (the police) received a request under the Act for access to records related to a specific incident on a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcar. The police granted partial access to the responsive records, withholding information under the discretionary personal privacy exemption at section 38(b) of the Act. The appellant appealed the police’s decision to the IPC and raised reasonable search as an issue. In this order, the adjudicator finds the police conducted a reasonable search, and partially upholds the police’s decision to withhold some of the information. However, she orders the police to disclose additional information to the appellant.
