File #  MA11-521-2
Institution/HIC  Toronto Police Services Board
Summary  The appellant submitted an access request to the Toronto Police Services Board for records related to the decision-making process for inclusion of individuals in the Toronto Police Wall of Honour. The police issued a decision letter identifying 136 pages of responsive records and denied access to them in their entirety, based on section 11(g) (pending policy decision) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The appellant appealed the decision and challenged the adequacy of the police’s search for records. On a number of occasions, this office sought representations and copies of all of the records at issue from the police. However, the police provided only unsevered and unmarked copies of pages 1-55 to this office and did not provide representations in support of the positions taken. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the police have not conducted a reasonable search and orders further searches. The adjudicator also orders the police to produce the records at issue in this appeal to this office.
