PR 20-21 Giramma v. Narragansett Police Department – No violation

The Complainant alleged that the Police Department violated the APRA when it withheld an incident report. We reviewed the withheld document in camera and determined that it related to a domestic incident involving a minor where no arrest was made. Because the report contains sensitive personal information about multiple private individuals, we found a significant privacy interest implicated in disclosure. We did not discern any apparent public interest in disclosure. We accordingly found that the Police Department did not violate the APRA by withholding the incident report.
