This Privacy Complaint Report deals with two similar, but unrelated, privacy complaints. Both privacy complaints involve the Toronto Police Service, (the TPS) and its practice of disclosing information in response to Police Reference Checks. In both cases, the complainant was concerned that the actions of the TPS were inappropriate, and constituted a breach of the provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The investigation concluded that the personal information was not disclosed in accordance with section 32 of the Act and provided recommendations for the TPS.
