PO-4545

An individual requested access to his own records with the Chief Firearms Office (CFO). The ministry, which is in charge of responding to requests for information with the CFO, provided him with some of the records but refused to provide some information stating that disclosure would reveal investigative techniques or procedures (section 49(a), read with section 14(1)(c)), would be an unjustified invasion of another individual’s personal privacy (section 49(b)), or are not responsive to the request. In addition to seeking access to the information that was not provided to him, the individual questions whether the search conducted by the ministry for records was reasonable. In this order, the adjudicator upholds the ministry’s decision not to disclose the information it withheld. She also finds that the ministry’s search for records was reasonable. She dismisses the appeal.
