M-63
The Ottawa Board of Commissioners of Police (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to a police investigation report. The Police notified an individual whose interests might be affected by release of the report, and after receiving representations from this person, decided to grant partial access to the two responsive records to the requester. The individual who had been notified appealed the Police's decision.
The records consist of a two-page General Occurrence Report (pages 001 and 002), and a onepage Follow-Up Investigation Report (page 003). Certain severances were made to these records, which were not appealed by the original requester and are not the subject of this appeal.
Mediation was not successful, and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Police was sent to the original requester, the appellant, and the Police. Written representations were received from all three parties.
