The appellant sought access to records under the Act from the Toronto Police Services Board (the police) related to his murder conviction. The police denied access to the responsive police reports and witness interviews, relying on the discretionary personal privacy exemption in section 38(b).
In this order, the adjudicator orders disclosure of the interviews of the witnesses that were interviewed in their professional capacity and determines that the section 38(b) exemption applies to the remaining information at issue in the records.
