Summary  This is an appeal under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ). The appellant submitted a request for information to the Durham Regional Police Services Board (the Police). The preamble to the request describes the general parameters of the information sought. It states, in part, as follows: The information we are requesting is pertinent information which relates directly or indirectly to [the appellant] or [the appellant's] matter, including the incident giving rise to the charge against him, the subsequent processing of the charge against him and the handling of his matter including, without limitation, records of communication with other police officers, reporters, citizens, representatives of [the appellant], etc. The request goes on to seek access to the notebook entries and the record of shift for 20 named police officers, for specified dates. With respect to the notebook entries, the request states that these should be "... supplied as they appear chronologically in the memo note-books ...". In a subsequent clarification of this request, the appellant indicated that he is seeking access to the following: (1) The officers' memo note books of the officers indicated and for the dates indicated [in the request]; (2) A record of shift for each of the officers identified on the dates identified [in the request]; and (3) All information relating to [the appellant] in the possession of [the Police] or available to [the Police] relating directly or indirectly to [the appellant] and the charge against him and the handling of such charge, including without limitation , records of communication with other police officers, reporters, citizens, representatives of [the appellant], etc. Such material and information may or may not be contained in the officers' memo note books. Such information may be recorded in other ways. Accordingly, we are requesting this information, no matter how such information is recorded or preserved. It may be on computers, in files, in note books, in copies of correspondence or in other forms. To put the matter at its most simplistic, we are asking for all information relating to [the appellant] and [the appellant's] matter in its most general form.
