Dear Ms.Watts,
Re: Access to Information request 051925.
On October 5 2005 your office received my Freedom of Information request, asking to see:
I received 159 pages labeled 001 to 201 from your office, giving me partial access, with two exemptions:
Now that two years have passed, I’m hoping your matters before the courts exemption is no longer an issue. Please send me all the arrest reports (arrests made in Dufferin Grove Park) from that same time period (Jan. 2002 until Sept. 26 2005).
Secondly, please clarify
Since all possible identifiers, even including gender, were removed from the Occurrence Reports, it would not have been possible for any breach of privacy to occur in the case of youth. We will need those Occurrence Reports involving youth too, so that our analysis of police activity at Dufferin Grove Park during that period can be complete.
Beyond that, we are concerned about three incidents well known to park users, involving people who are not youth, which seem to have no report attached to them. That is, there are no reports on or near the dates when those events occurred:
These missing reports make us concerned, that other reports might be missing as well. Can you give us a sense of how complete occurrence reports are supposed to be?
Thank you for giving this your attention,
Yours truly
Jutta Mason
