File #  MA12-116
Institution/HIC  Toronto Police Services Board
Summary  The appellant submitted a request to the Toronto Police Services Board for dispatch records relating to her address, and memobook notes from officers that attended at her residence. The police granted partial access to the records, withholding some portions pursuant to section 38(b) (personal privacy), with reference to the presumption in section 14(3)(b). A number of other issues were raised in the police decision and appeal, but were resolved as the appeal proceeded through the mediation and adjudication processes. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the records at issue contain the personal information of the appellant and other identified and/or identifiable individuals. She also finds that the records are exempt under section 38(b) after weighing the presumption at section 14(3)(b) (information compiled and identifiable as part of a law enforcement investigation), which favours privacy protection, and the factor at section 14(2)(d) (fair determination of rights), which weighs in favour of disclosure.
