Est. Completion April 7, 2025
Status
Partially Completed

From: Joey Scott

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Hello,

I am requesting copies of records related to department-specific pay, OT, or non-monetary gifts (challenge coins, medals, trophies) for bonus opportunities. These include opportunities like marksmanship bonuses or other skill-based rewards the department gives to officers.

Documents, memos, or policies related to bonus opportunities, available bonuses, the amount or item given out, and requirements/standards to achieve those bonuses.
Records from databases, Excel docs, or other recording documents outline officers who received the bonus, what it was for, dates, and reward amount or gift given.
Please search 2018 to December 2024.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Joey Scott

From: Orange County Sheriff's Office

1. Can you specify “officers”? Do you mean all sworn public safety officers and managers such as Deputies I & II; Sergeants, Investigators, Lieutenants and Captains?
2. As for the specific pay, are you also requesting for premium and other pays?

Thank you,
