To Whom It May Concern:

It should also include any documents your department submits to local, state, or federal agencies listing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the police department.

Please provide all available materials from January 1, 2016 through November 6, 2024.

Good afternoon Mr. Scott:
This email is in response to your below request for records received by the City Attorney’s Office on November 19. Please note that the City Clerk does not have record of receiving your request on November 7, despite your email which seems to indicate that an initial request was made at that time.
Attached are logs of all State and Federal cases closed out for fiscal years 15/16 through 23/24 (excluding water-related litigation), as well pending cases for the current fiscal year. Please note that the City does not possess or maintain records that filter cases and claims by allegation or named defendant, so the attached documents are not specific to only the Bakersfield Police Department.
This now completes your requests for records.
Sincerely,
