An individual made a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for the names and contact information of her neighbours who called 911 about her. The Toronto Police Services Board denied access to the information relying on the discretionary personal privacy exemption in section 38(b).
In this order, the adjudicator upholds the police’s decision and finds that disclosure of the information at issue, the names and contact information of the 911 callers, would be an unjustified invasion of personal privacy under section 38(b).
