The appellant requested correction of his personal information – the removal of his name from an occurrence details report about an incident involving him. The police denied the correction request because it did not meet the requirements for the police to grant it; the appellant’s name had to remain in the report because he was the individual who had contacted the police. The police advised the appellant that he could require that a statement of disagreement be attached to the report in accordance with section 36(2)(b) of the Act.
The adjudicator exercises her discretion under section 41(1) of the Act not to conduct an inquiry to review the police’s decision because an inquiry is not warranted. The police have responded adequately to the correction request, and they are not required to grant it. The appeal is dismissed.
