Subject:Public Records Act request
Good morning Mr. Campbell,
I’m writing regarding your Public Records Act request received by the City of San Luis Obispo on January 17,
2020 in which you request “…criminal records from all the cities I’ve lived in. If there are no records, I would
need a form stating that I have none…”
Pursuant to California Government Code section 6254(f), “Records of complaints to, or investigations
conducted by…any state or local agency....” are exempt from disclosure. See also Haynie v Superior Court
(2001) 26 C. 4th 1063. While you are not entitled to this information via a PRA request, we do have a way for
you to obtain the information you need.
We have what is called a Clearance Letter. It will indicate any misdemeanor or felony arrest or convictions we
have with the requestor. The fee is $25.00. We can also have the form notarized if necessary, it just needs to
be notated on the form. The form is available online
here: https://www.slocity.org/home/showdocument?id=2366
We do require a photo ID as well to verify you’re entitled to the information you’re requesting.
We also do background requests from other police agencies, so your backgrounder can contact us to request
a list of our contacts with you, if any. They would need to include a notarized form signed by you that
authorizes them to obtain your information as well as allowing us to release the info to them.
If you would like to go the Clearance Letter route, you can email me the filled out form, a copy of your photo ID,
and I can get your credit card info for the $25.00 fee. You can also choose to mail in the request and include a
check made out to the City of SLO for $25.00.
Please let me know how you’d like to proceed, and if you have any questions I have not addressed.
Sincerely,
Tera Rapp
Police Records Supervisor
