Summary of request
You requested:
“The Metropolitan Police Service have stated that in 2025, one complaint was received by the Metropolitan Police Service in relation to alleged misconduct by Sir Mark Rowley. The MPS stated that MOPAC conducted an investigation and dealt with the complaint.
Please can you provide a copy of your decision and investigation materials.”
Our response:
We are unable to release the requested information because, even with the removal of names and other direct identifiers, the remaining details are sufficiently specific that the complainant could still be identified. The nature and context of the complaint mean that disclosure of any substantive detail would allow reasonable inference of the individual’s identity. Releasing this information would therefore constitute a breach of their data protection rights and is exempt under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
While we are unable to release the details of the decision and investigation of the complaint, we can confirm that MOPAC as the appropriate authority for consideration of complaints against the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, considered one complaint in 2025.
