Response 4:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
All Agreements set out the lawful basis for the use of personal data by the public sector, across traditional organisational boundaries, to achieve better policies and deliver better services.
Please note:
In addition, Dyfed Powys Police neither confirms nor denies that it holds any other information relevant to this request, and that this response serves as a Refusal Notice under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) by virtue of the following exemptions:
Section 23(5) - Information supplied by, or concerning, certain Security Bodies
Section 24(2) - National Security
Section 31(3) - Law Enforcement
Section 23 is a class based absolute exemption and there is no requirement to consider the public interest in this case. Confirming or denying the existence of whether any other information is held would contravene the constrictions laid out within Section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in that this stipulates a generic bar on disclosure of any information ap-plied by, or concerning, certain Security Bodies.
Sections 24 and 31 are qualified exemptions and as such there is a requirement to articulate the harm and conduct a test of the public interest in confirmation or denial.
National Security - Section 24(2) of the Act provides:
Evidence of Harm
Providing any notice that confirms or denies the existence of specific policing operations would make these security measures less effective. This would lead to the compromise of ongoing or future operations to protect the security or infrastructure of the UK and increase the risk of harm to the public.
Favouring confirming or denying whether the information is held
Providing confirmation or denial as to the extent of operational tactics that might be used by the police service to effectively safeguard matters of national security would improve public confidence in the work of the police and reassure them that the services and equipment available to the police are appropriate, fit for purpose and robust.
Favouring neither confirming nor denying whether the in-formation is held
If Dyfed Powys Police were to confirm or deny that such information was or was not held, this could prejudice the Government’s ability to maintain national security. It is not in the public interest to disclose the capabilities of the police service and other UK authorities and the techniques and operations that they may or may not use to safeguard the country. This would allow determined individuals the ability to, over time, identify which public authorities hold certain types of national security information and which do not, thereby allowing inferences to be drawn about what authorities or bodies might have an interest in certain matters of national security.
Any response that has the potential to undermine ongoing and future operations to protect the security of the United Kingdom would significantly increase the risk of harm to the community at large. Such actions would obviously not be in the best interest of the public.
Law Enforcement - Section 31(3) of the Act provides
Harm
Dyfed Powys Police is charged with enforcing the law, detecting, and preventing crime, and protecting the communities we serve. Confirming or denying whether any other information is held would impact on the effectiveness of police investigations, thereby hindering the prevention and detection of crime.
Favouring confirming or denying whether the information is held
This FOIA request relates to the Sharing Agreements (ISA’s), and Dyfed Powys Police to carry out investigations to prevent and detect crime, and there is likely to be a public interest into what specific involvement each partner agency had within such an investigation. Therefore, this in itself favours confirming whether the information is held.
Favouring neither confirming nor denying whether the information is held
There is an inherently strong public interest in public authorities carrying out investigations to prevent and detect crime. Dyfed Powys Police need to be allowed to investigate crime effectively and ensure that offenders are brought to justice. To confirm or deny that any other information is held could compromise law enforcement tactics, which would hinder Dyfed Powys Police’s ability to prevent and detect criminality in this area.
Where current or future law enforcement capabilities of the force may be compromised by the release of information, it is unlikely to be in the interest of the public.
Balancing Test
Dyfed Powys Police is charged with enforcing the law, preventing and detecting crime and protecting the communities we serve. The security and maintenance of investigations are of paramount importance and GMP will not divulge whether information is or is not held. Whilst there is a public interest in the transparency of policing and providing assurance that the police service is appropriately and effectively engaging with the threat from criminals, there is a very strong public interest in safeguarding the integrity of police investigations.
It is therefore our opinion that for these issues the balancing test for confirming or not that information is held, is not made out.
