Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner. Guide to LA FOIP, Chapter 4, Exemptions from the Right of Access. Updated 18 Oct 2023. 92 have been observable by those who attended at the time. The Commissioner was not persuaded that subsection 14(1)(m) of LA FOIP applied to the note. Subsection 14(2) Law enforcement and investigations 14(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a record that: (a) provides a general outline of the structure or programs of a law enforcement agency; or (b) reports, by means of statistical analysis or otherwise, on the degree of success achieved in a law enforcement program. Subsection 14(2) of LA FOIP provides that a local authority cannot rely on subsection 14(1) of LA FOIP for a record that: a) Provides a general outline of the structure or programs of a law enforcement agency; or b) Reports, by means of statistical analysis or otherwise, on the degree of success achieved in a law enforcement program. The purpose of this provision is to encourage disclosure of general information about the structure of law enforcement or its programs or reports and statistics about the success of law enforcement programs. Structure in this context means the organization of elements or parts such as corporate structure.355 Programs in this context means a set of related measures or activities with a long-term aim, a planned series of events.356 An example would be the Regina Crime Stoppers Program. Reports and statistics on the success of law enforcement programs should be routinely disclosed whenever possible. Only if the contents of the report could interfere with or harm any of the matters set out in the preceding subsections would information be withheld. This would be done by severing the appropriate parts of the report.357 355 Garner, Bryan A., 2019. Black’s Law Dictionary, 11th Edition.
