Article applied

Article 42 Law Enforcement

Information is qualified exempt information if its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice-
(a) the prevention, detection or investigation of crime, whether in Jersey or elsewhere.

Public interest test

The States of Jersey Police believe that it is not in the public interest to jeopardise an ongoing investigation by revealing information about the investigation. There are times when it is in the public interest to do so when seeking further information from the public or witnesses. At this moment in time, no such information is sought.
