The purpose of this message is to provide you with a partial response to the Inspection of Public Records Act (hereinafter “IPRA”) request you provided the City of Las Cruces (hereinafter “City” or “Las Cruces”). The City has gathered, reviewed, and appropriately redacted the following public records associated with your request:
One (1) document and four (4) videos

* New Mexico Statutes Annotated (hereinafter “NMSA”) Section 14-2-1.1 states “Protected personal identifier information contained in public records may be redacted by a public body before inspection or copying of a record.” The term “protected personal identifier information” is defined within NMSA Section 14-2-6(F) to include:  (1) all but the last four digits of a: (a) taxpayer identification number;  (b) financial account number; (c) credit or debit card number; or (d) driver’s license number;  (2) all but the year of a person’s date of birth; (3) a social security number; and (4) with regard to a nonelected employee of a public body in the context of the person’s employment, the employee’s nonbusiness home street address, but not the city, state or zip code;  therefore, any of the above-described “protected personal identifier information” found within the responsive records have been redacted.
* New Mexico Statutes Annotated (hereinafter “NMSA”) 1978, § 14-2-1.2(A)(8) states, in pertinent part, that “Law enforcement records are public records, except “records pertaining to physical or mental examination and medical treatment of persons unless the information could be relevant to a criminal investigation or an investigation of misfeasance, malfeasance or other suspected violation of law conducted by a person elected to or employed by a public body,” and therefore, such records “may be redacted from a written record or digitally obscured in a visual or audio record.” Therefore, any medical records and/or the discussion of medical diagnosis found within the responsive records have been redacted. New Mexico Statutes Annotated (hereinafter “NMSA”) 1978, § 14-2-1(J) states that every person has a right to inspect public records of this state except “information concerning information technology systems, the publication of which would reveal specific vulnerabilities that compromise or allow unlawful access to such systems; provided that this subsection shall not be used to restrict requests for (1) records stored or transmitted using information technology systems and (2) internal and external audits of information technology systems, except for those portions that would reveal ongoing vulnerabilities that compromise or allow unlawful access to such systems.” Therefore, any records that would disclose methods for unlawfully accessing technology systems contained within the responsive records have been redacted. A download link with the contents of this request has been e-mailed to you from AXON.  This download link expires in three (3) days. Please contact our office by replying to this email or via telephone if you have any issues accessing the documents or if you wish to receive the documents in another format. Pursuant to NMSA 1978, § 14-2-10, the City has determined that your written request is excessively burdensome and/or broad. More specifically, the City has determined that it requires an additional reasonable period of time to gather, review, and appropriately redact any and all public records associated with your request.  Although the City cannot anticipate when the remainder of the responsive records associated with your request will become available, the City will produce them within a reasonable period of time. Further, the City will provide a written status update regarding your request within fifteen (15) days.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Sincerely,
