Police Rosters + Photos (Orange County Sheriff's Office)

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Hello,

The roster of sworn police officers from 2016 - 2024
Names, badge numbers, serial numbers, division/station, sworn status.

The department's headshot photos of all of the same officers are referenced above. Duplicates from each year do not need to be completed. At a minimum, photos for 2023 - 2024 should be included.

Precedent: Santa Ana Police Department and LAPD have released their photos. A reminder that nothing in California Penal Code 832.7 mentions photographs in personnel records are kept confidential. Not only that, but videos and pictures of officers are regularly shared on social media.

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

Hello,

Thank you for the roster. LAPD, Santa Ana Police Department, and Culver City Police Department have supplied the public with photos. Attached is an example of what Culver City released this week. If your department shares photos of your officers on social media, are you not concerned for their safety? The exemption is not applicable if other departments can fulfill the request. Please provide me with the requested headshot photos.

Thank you
