NATURE OF THE APPEAL:
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) occurrence report related to an incident in which the requesters were involved.
The Ministry granted partial access to the report, while withholding certain information pursuant to sections 49(a), in conjunction with 14(2)(a) and 14(1)(l) (law enforcement), and section 49(b) (invasion of privacy), together with the presumption listed at section 21(3)(b) and the consideration of section 21(2)(f).
The requesters subsequently sent a letter to the Ministry outlining a series of concerns with the accuracy of the content of the occurrence report and requesting that corrections be made to it. The requesters provided a list of the corrections requested to the Ministry.
