MO-4601

An individual made a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) to the London Police Services Board (the police) for his deceased father’s police record. The police denied access to the records based on the personal privacy exemption at 14(1). In this order, the adjudicator finds that the individual is not entitled to the same right of access to his father’s personal information as his father would have had (section 54(a)). She finds that the titles of police force members that the appellant had specifically requested are not personal information and therefore not exempt from disclosure under the Act’s mandatory personal privacy provisions. She also finds that disclosure of the remaining information in the records at issue would be an unjustified invasion of personal privacy of individuals other than the appellant (section 14(1)) and the public interest override at section 16 does not apply to permit its disclosure. The adjudicator partially upholds the police’s decision and orders it to disclose the titles of police force members to the appellant.
