File #  M-9200399
Institution/HIC  Township of Michipicoten Police
Summary  The Township of Michipicoten Police (the Police) received the following request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ): I am requesting information, regarding myself, which may be in the files of the Township Police and which is recorded in any fashion. I am requesting that corrections be made to a number of incidents which are falsely recorded in the Michipicoten occurrence book of the Police department, 1990 and 1991. I am also requesting access to any inquires made by the Michipicoten Police in regard to members of Municipal Council [particularly myself] for 1991 [and August to December, 1990]. The Police identified several responsive records and compiled them in the form of a package numbered from pages 1-73. The Police released some of the pages (pages 1-19, 29, 31 and 32) but denied access to the rest pursuant to sections 8, 14 and 38 of the Act . The requester appealed the Police's decision and also claimed that additional responsive records had not been identified. During mediation, the appellant agreed to discontinue his correction request and resubmit it, if necessary, after this appeal is resolved. Further mediation was not possible and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the decision of the Police was sent to the Police and the appellant. Representations were received from the Police only. RECORDS AT ISSUE In their representations the Police withdrew some of the exemptions previously claimed. In particular, the Police indicated that no exemptions were being claimed for pages 26, 27, 28, 36 39, 40, 41, 43 and 44. I have reviewed these pages, and find that they do not attract the application of any mandatory exemptions. Therefore, they should be released to the appellant. In addition, in my view, the severed information on pages 20-25, 42, 48 and 60 is not responsive to the request. This information consists of computer codes and other information which does not fall within the parameters of the appellant's request and, is therefore, outside the scope of this appeal. The pages which remain at issue are 30, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 45, 46, 47, 49-59, and 61-73.
