Dear Requester:
We have reviewed your California Public Records Act request.
Please be advised that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6253(c), we 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, our 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.
Respectfully,
LAPD Discovery Section CPRA Unit

Hi there

Dear Requester,
We have reviewed your request for “any records of arrests made during the years 2017, 2018, and 2019; of crimes being charged as human trafficking, including but not limited to, crimes of (1) involuntary servitude and (2) commercial sex trafficking. Additionally, please provide any demographic information related to the arrest that your agency may possess, including the age, gender, race, (and any other relevant fields) of the victims and the perpetrators. Additionally, please provide any available data on the time and locations of each arrest made.”
Your request was made pursuant to 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.
The data you are seeking is available on the Mayor’s Open Data Portal. Please visit:

We are providing you with a copy of the MO Codes, which is also available on the Open Data, to assist you with obtaining crime data. We are also providing you with the definition of Penal Code 236.1-Human Trafficking and related crimes, to assist you with the arrest data you are seeking.
