Chief Deanna Cantrell
Under the Public Records Act, I am asking for your cell phone records and the records of all police dispatchers
cell phones, who discussed your gun on July 10, 2019 from 11:30 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. I am also asking for the
copies of the voice recordings of calls to dispatch from 12:15 p.m. through 3 p.m. on July 10, 2019 made by you
or anyone regarding your gun. I am also asking for a copy of your report to the stolen property system about your
gun loss.
Pursuant to 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. Any
phone calls and/or voice recordings of calls to dispatch regarding this case are either records of a complaint to
the San Luis Obispo Police Department or part of the investigation conducted in this case and are therefore
exempt from disclosure. A copy of the public log for this incident and a Summary Sheet, which includes
information required to be released per Government Code section 6254(f) is attached. With regard to
Automated Firearms System (APS) reports, the reporting of the lost or stolen firearm is part of our investigation
and/or an otherwise exempt law enforcement record under Section 6254(f) as well. Moreover, while the City
has reporting obligations to that system, the reports created and maintained in that system are not records that
the City controls or maintains and, to the extent that we have authorization to access those documents, they are
part of CLETS and cannot be distributed to persons other than those with a valid law enforcement right and
need to know, per Penal Code 11142. You may request those records from the controlling agency.

Pursuant to 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. Any
phone calls to dispatch between law enforcement agencies regarding the investigation of this case are law
enforcement records or part of the investigation conducted by the San Luis Obispo Police Department or
