Use caution when deciding to open attachments, click links, or respond. February 13 2023 San Luis Obispo Police Department Public Records Act Request Dear SLOPD Records, I am requesting access to records in possession or control of the San Luis Obispo Police Departmebt for the purposes of inspection and copying pursuant to the California Public Records Act, California Government Code § 6250 et seq. (“CPRA”), and Article I, § 3(b) of the California Constitution.The specific records I seek to inspect and copy are listed below. As used herein, “Record” includes “Public Records” and “Writings” as those terms are defined at Government Code § 6252(e) & (g). I request access to copies of  Reports, investigations and findings related to an incident involving an officer’s discharge of a weapon or use of force resulting in death or great bodily injury.  Any record related to an incident in which sustained findings were made that an officer engaged in sexual assault against a member of the public.  Any record related to an incident in which sustained findings were made that an officer was dishonest in the reporting, investigation or prosecution of a crime or the reporting or investigation of another peace officer. SB 1421 also defines the types of records that must be disclosed in these instances, including:  All investigative reports, photographic, audio and video evidence, transcripts or recordings of interviews, and autopsy reports.  All materials compiled and presented for review to the district attorney or anyone else charged with determining whether to file criminal charges against an officer or a course of disciplinary action.  Documents setting forth findings or recommended findings.  Copies of disciplinary records relating to the incident. I am requesting these documents from a time period of January 1st 2013 - February 13th 2023 for all former and current Police Officers employed by SLOPD. If you contend that any portion of the records requested is exempt from disclosure by express provisions of law, Government Code § 6253(a) requires segregation and redaction of that material in order that the remainder of the records may be released. If you contend that any 1 express provision of law exists to exempt from disclosure all or a portion of the records I have requested, Government Code § 6253(c) requires that you notify me of the reasons for the determination not later than 10 days from your receipt of this request. Government Code §§ 6253(d) & 6255(b) require that any response to this request that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole or in part, must be in writing and include the name and title of the person(s) responsible for the City’s response. Government Code § 6253(d) prohibits the use of the 10-day period, or any provisions of the CPRA or any other law, “to delay access for purposes of inspecting public records.” In responding to this request, please keep in mind that Article 1, § 3(b)(2) of the California Constitution expressly requires you to broadly construe all provisions that further the public’s right of access, and to apply any limitations on access as narrowly as possible. If I can provide any clarification that will help expedite your attention to my request, please contact me at the email; pursuant to Government Code § 6253.1. I ask that you notify me of any duplication costs exceeding $25 before you duplicate the records so that I may decide which records I want copied. Thank you for your timely attention to this matter. Sincerely, Member of SLO County 2
