MO-4482

The Barrie Police Services Board received a request under the Act for records relating to complaints involving the appellant. The police granted the appellant partial access to an occurrence report and officer’s notes claiming that the withheld portions qualified for exemption under section 38(a)(discretion to refuse a requester’s own information), read with section 8(1)(d)(confidential source). The police withheld an audio recording provided by an affected individual on the basis that disclosure would constitute an unjustified invasion of personal privacy under section 38(b)(personal privacy). The appellant appealed the police’s decision to the IPC. The adjudicator finds that the records qualify for exemption under sections 38(a) and (b) and dismisses the appeal.
