Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:
Full details of disciplinary action against police officers, including i) date, ii) allegation type, iii) allegation details, vi) outcome and v) source - for the whole of 2019
In Response:
As the information you have requested is accessible by other means I have not provided you with a copy of the information and will rely on Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You should therefore consider this a refusal for your request.
I have provided an explanation to this exemption below.
Section 21 (1) - Information accessible by other means
Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant is exempt information.
Misconduct information is published as a matter of course on the Northumbria Police website. A simple search for Misconduct Proceedings Outcomes will bring back results. I have provided the link to the website below for you.
