Hi there
A message was sent to you regarding record request #20-7523:
Dear Requester:
The Department continues to process CPRA requests as they come in during the COVID-19 public health crisis, and will endeavor to do so in a timely manner. While the Department will be making every effort to comply with its statutory obligations, due to the COVID-19 crisis and the City and Department's efforts to tackle its effects, the actual production of records responsive to your request (if any) may be delayed if Department resources are needed to perform critical functions or are constrained due to the pandemic. The Department greatly appreciates your patience during this difficult time, as the entire community and nation deals with this unusual and serious situation. During this crisis, the Department would also ask that requesters consider postponing the submission of any requests that can wait until after the immediate crisis has abated.
If you have any questions, please respond to this e-mail.
Respectfully,
LAPD Discovery Section, CPRA Unit

Dear Requester:
I have reviewed your California Public Records Act request.
Please be advised that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6253(c), I have found that “unusual circumstances” exist with respect to the request due to the need to search for, collect, and review the requested records from other Department entities which are separate from the office processing the request. Therefore, my staff will require the statutory fourteen days extension of time in which to respond. A determination concerning your request will be made as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, simply respond to this email.

Your request was made under the California Public Records Act (the Act). The Department is cognizant of its responsibilities under the Act. It recognizes the statutory scheme was enacted to maximize citizen access to the workings of government. The Act does not mandate disclosure of all documents within the government’s possession. Rather, by specific exemption and reference to other statutes, the Act recognizes that there are boundaries where the public’s right to access must be balanced against such weighty considerations as the right of privacy, a right of constitutional dimension under California Constitution, Article 1, Section 1. The law also exempts from disclosure records that are privileged or confidential or otherwise exempt under either express provisions of the Act or pursuant to applicable federal or state law, per California Government Code Sections 6254(b); 6254(c); 6254(f); 6254(k); and 6255.
With regards to your request for average response times for all calls and domestic violence calls only, for July 2019 and July 2020, a search was conducted, and the responsive documents have been provided to you.
With regards to your request for all domestic violence/domestic disturbance calls for service for July 2019 and July 2020, a search was conducted, and the responsive documents have been provided to you. Please be advised that the following fields are what has been provided to you: incident number, call priority, creation date and time, dispatch date and time, arrival date and time, disposition of code and description, and call type and description.
A three-page handout is also attached which will assist you in interpreting the Calls for Service. Calls for Service data does not contain information regarding the person who called the police, the name of the person who was the subject of the call, or the telephone number from which the call was made. Additionally, the Department did not provide race and ethnicity of victim, race and ethnicity of perpetrators, or the outcome or resolution of a call for service. Furthermore, the printout provided to you does not include certified copies of any crime or arrest reports related to a patrol response. Release of these reports, or any information contained therein, is subject to the provisions of the California Government Code, Section 6254, otherwise known as the California Public Records Act.
If you have any questions, please respond to this email.
Respectfully,
LAPD Discovery Section, CPRA Unit
