2. all occurrence reports, supplementary reports and police officer notes pertaining to the raids.

In support of their reliance on the section 14(1) exemption the Police cited the application of the presumption in section 14(3)(b) (investigation into violation of law) of the Act. In addition, the Police denied access to some information on the basis that it is not responsive to the request.
