At this time, the City is uncertain whether it is the custodian of the requested record. The City will review your request to determine if it has responsive records. The City will then gather an estimate of the costs to provide copies of requested public records for which the City does not claim an exemption from disclosure. The City is permitted to charge its actual costs to provide records. Fees include research time to locate and analyze the requested records, even if no records are located or if the requested records are determined to be exempt from disclosure.
You can monitor the progress of your request at the link below. Thank you for using the Portland Public Records Request Center.

It appears as though you are seeking records from the Police Bureau and the Bureau of Emergency Communications (911). The Police Bureau will have records pertaining to reports and body camera footage. 911 will have records pertaining to audio communications. For Court records, you will need to submit a request to the County where the incident occurred.
Please re-submit your request to the Police Bureau and 911 separately. If you need assistance, you can call the technical assistance line at (503) 823-6040 or send an email to prrhelp@portlandoregon.gov.
I am closing this request on the assumption that you will be re-submitting your request to the correct bureaus.
