Text: ¶ 18 The PCIR and the MIIIR constitute personal information under former RCW 42.56.230(2). Although not defined in the PRA, we have defined personal information as information relating to or affecting a particular individual, information associated with private concerns, or information that is not public or general. Bellevue John Does, 164 Wash.2d at 211, 189 P.3d 139. [8] In Bellevue John Does, we held that a teacher's identity in connection with an unsubstantiated allegation of sexual misconduct is personal information under former RCW 42.56.230(2). 164 Wash.2d at 211-12, 189 P.3d 139. ¶ 19 Similar to Bellevue John Does, a police officer's identity in connection with an allegation of sexual misconduct is also personal information under former RCW 42.56.230(2). Neither party asserts a reasonable basis to distinguish our case from Bellevue John Does on this issue. We hold that the PCIR and MIIIR contain personal information.
