Hello Mr. Gerber,
In reference to your PRA request, the Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) is able to run a query for the data:
For July 2020:
- Average response time of department for all calls: CAN PROVIDE
- Average response time of department for domestic violence calls only: CAN PROVIDE
For all domestic violence/domestic disturbance calls to the 911 dispatch center in the month of July 2020, separated by individual call:
- Type of call CAN PROVIDE
- Priority level CAN PROVIDE
- Date and time of call received CAN PROVIDE
- Date and time first officer arrived on scene CAN PROVIDE
- Race and ethnicity of victim, if available CAN PROVIDE IF AVAIL
- Race and ethnicity of perpetrator(s), if available CAN PROVIDE IF AVAIL
- Outcome or resolution of call CAN PROVIDE CALL DISPOSITION
For July 2019: The same information derived for July 2020 can be derived for July 2019.
- Average response time of department for all calls
- Average response time of department for domestic violence calls only
For all domestic violence/domestic disturbance calls to the 911 dispatch center in the month of July 2019, separated by individual call:
- Type of call
- Priority level
- Date and time of call received
- Date and time first officer arrived on scene
- Race and ethnicity of victim, if available
- Race and ethnicity of perpetrator(s), if available
- Outcome or resolution of call
*Please be advised that this query may not capture all domestic related call types that may initially come in as other call types. Also, if a domestic related case involves multiple crimes, the records management system captures only the highest offense code as the primary incident (UCR’s Hierarchy Rule).
Government Code Subsection 6253.9(b) allows a local government agency to recover “costs of producing a copy of the record, including the cost to construct a record, the cost of programming and computer services necessary to produce a copy of the record” in two situations:
1. In order to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a), the public agency would be required to produce a copy of an electronic record and the record is one that is produced only at otherwise regularly scheduled intervals.
2. The request would require data compilation, extraction, or programming to produce the record.
The current Fee Schedule (http://www.sjpd.org/records/fees_public_safety.asp<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sjpd.org%2Frecords%2Ffees_public_safety.asp&data=01%7C01%7CApril.Benoit%40sanjoseca.gov%7Cc54d983a0ab14881bea508d8594e373c%7C0fe33be061424f969b8d7817d5c26139%7C1&sdata=JWhcm9%2BRtfMfqts5%2FCR%2BEO6k2mJMGCwWZlGPfWf0VjI%3D&reserved=0>) requires $140.00 per hour to cover these costs.
I am waiting for the CAU to notify me of what the estimated query time will be in order to determine the total fee associated with your request, as well as the estimated turnaround time to receive records.
**Please advise if you wish to proceed and would like to me to provide you with the total cost and turnaround time once it's calculated by the CAU.
Thank you,

Hello Ms. Benoit,

Good afternoon, Mr. Gerber-
I just received an update from the Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) regarding the turnaround time and the time to query your request, since at this time, a query does not exist.
Government Code Subsection 6253.9(b) allows a local government agency to recover “costs of producing a copy of the record, including the cost to construct a record, the cost of programming and computer services necessary to produce a copy of the record” in two situations:
1. In order to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a), the public agency would be required to produce a copy of an electronic record and the record is one that is produced only at otherwise regularly scheduled intervals.
2. The request would require data compilation, extraction, or programming to produce the record.

Based on the estimate provided by CAU of 15 minutes to query, a payment of $35.00 is required to continue processing this request. Payment via check should be made payable to “City of San Jose” and delivered or mailed to my attention at:
San Jose Police Department
Research and Development Unit - PRA
201 W. Mission Street
San Jose, CA 95110
Upon receipt of payment, our Crime Analysis Unit will be notified, and your request will be processed. The CAU estimates a turnaround time of 3 weeks.

Good afternoon, Mr. Gerber-
The CAU has notified me of a corrected query time of 10 minutes, making the required payment $23.33. Please see the email below for information on the fee required and how to send it. If you have already sent payment of $35, I can either send it back to you or destroy it while I wait for new payment of $23.33.
Thank you,

Hello April,
Thank you for the update and my apologies for the delayed response. In order to make the payment for the records from CAU, my organization requires a completed W9. I've attached a blank form. Would it be possible to have a completed one returned to colin.g@uihi.org? With that in place, I can submit the payment and would love to set up a digital download.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at 612-805-2488.
Much obliged,

Good afternoon, Mr. Gerber-
Please see the attached documents provided to me by the CAU that are responsive to your request. Attachments 1 and 3 include the priority level, date/time of call, date/time of arrival, response time and final call type. Attachments 2 and 4 include the report date, offense type, offense type description and the race/ethnicity of the victim/offenders. The CAU does not have calculations for the average response time for all calls for July 2019 or 2020. This is calculated on a quarterly basis. They also do not have the calculation for the average response time for domestic violence calls. However, with the data provided, you may be able to make the calculations.
Attachment 1- CFS July 2019
Attachment 2- CFS_Offense_Vic_Off_ July 2019
Attachment 3- CFS July 2020
Attachment 4- CFS_Offense_Vic_Off_ July 2020
* Please note- the CAU has notified me that they still need to run the data for the 2019 calls for service initial call type and the 2019 & 2020 calls for service domestic violence dispositions. They anticipate having those records to me within 3 weeks.
I apologize for the delay and I’ll continue following up with the CAU for the remaining data.
Thank you,
-April
From: San Jose Police Department
Good afternoon, Mr. Gerber-
I received the attached data in response to the remainder of your request- data for the 2019 calls for service initial call type and the 2019 & 2020 calls for service domestic violence dispositions.
Attachment 5- CFS 2019 JULY w DISPO
Attachment 6- CFS 2020 JULY w DISPO
Please let me know if anything else is needed.
Thank you,

From: San Jose Police Department
Good afternoon, Mr. Gerber-
I just received one more spreadsheet with data that is responsive to your request. Please see attached. This data includes Initial Call Type that was originally missing from the 2019 July calls for service.
