Subject: California Public Records Act Request: LAPD Incident Reports (Los Angeles Police Department)

Portal

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Hello,

I am requesting incident reports from the following traffic collisions involving LAPD officers. The officer's names and incident reports must include by law:
"information that must be made available to the general public includes: the time, substance, and location of the complaints or request for assistance; the time and nature of law enforcement’s response; the time, date, and location of occurrence; the time and date of the report; factual circumstances surrounding the crime or incident; a general description of injuries, property and/or weapons involved; and the name and/or age of the victim (unless their identity must remain confidential under state law).

- Dashcams, body cams, and any audio/video collected by your department related to these incidents must be included.

The law: "Disclosure may be delayed for up to one year during an active criminal or administrative investigation, but only if the disclosure would substantially interfere with that investigation.

Agencies must be able to produce audio or visual recordings while maintaining a reasonable expectation of privacy for those being depicted in the recording. Agencies are expected to use redaction technology that blurs or distorts images or audio. If an agency cannot adequately protect a subject’s privacy with the use of such redaction technology, then it may withhold the entire recording. However, a copy must be made available to any person (or designated representative) whose privacy interest is protected by the public nondisclosure."

The names of those involved in the corresponding settlements are below. Council files are available, too.

Thank you!

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
