Good Afternoon,
In response to your inquiry, please see the response under Item 2 in the letter attached which reads as follows:
2. To the extent that your request seeks documents subject to Gov. Code section 6254 (c) which exempts from disclosure personnel, medical or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.” Penal Code section 832.7, subdivision (a), exempts from disclosure “[p]eace officer or custodial officer personnel records and records maintained by any state or local agency pursuant to Section 832.5, or information obtained from these records.” Penal Code section 832.8 defines personnel records to include any records relating to “discipline” (subd. (d)) and “complaints, or investigations of complaints, concerning an event or transaction in which he or she participated, or which he or she perceived, and pertaining to the manner in which he or she performed his or her duties.” (subd. (e)) Walter Chung, Assistant City Attorney is responsible for the denial.
Have a great day!
Faviola
