An individual made a request to the Belleville Police Services Board under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for access to records related to police training.
The police withheld some information in a specific police training procedure under the law enforcement exemption at section 8(1) of the Act. The police also claimed that the procedure is excluded from the Act under the exclusion for information related to employment or labour relations (section 52(3)3).
In this order, the adjudicator does not uphold the police’s claim that the procedure is employment or labour relations information excluded under section 52(3)3. She upholds the police’s decision to withhold some information in the procedure because its disclosure could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of police officers or other persons (section 8(1)(e)). However, she finds disclosure of the remainder of the withheld information could not reasonably be expected to lead to that result, and she orders the police to disclose it to the individual.
