File #		MA11-392


Institution/HIC		Hamilton Police Services Board


Summary		The appellant sought access to information relating to an incident with a police officer, captured by a CCTV camera. The police granted partial access to responsive information recorded in paper form, denying access to some information pursuant to various law enforcement exemptions. The police advised that they conducted a search for the CCTV camera footage of the incident and found that it does not exist. The appellant appealed the police’s application of the law enforcement exemptions to the paper records and the adequacy of the search for records responsive to his request. The appellant then withdrew his appeal respecting the withheld information in the paper records and focused his attention on the search issue, particularly the whereabouts of the camera footage. An oral inquiry was conducted during which only the police attended and gave evidence. The adjudicator issued an order upholding the police’s search for responsive records.
