Dear Requester:
We reviewed your request for contracts, agreements, and purchase information regarding:
Thompson Reuters Clear
LexisNexis Accurint
TransUnion TLOxp; TruLookup
SoundThinking CrimeTracer; COPLINK X; ShotSpotter
Your request was made under the California Public Records Act (the Act). The Department is cognizant of its responsibilities under the Act. It recognizes the statutory scheme was enacted to maximize citizen access to the workings of government. The Act does not mandate disclosure of all documents within the government’s possession. Rather, by specific exemption and reference to other statutes, the Act recognizes that there are boundaries where the public’s right to access must be balanced against such weighty considerations as the right of privacy, a right of constitutional dimension under California Constitution, Article 1, Section 1. The law also exempts from disclosure records that are privileged or confidential or otherwise exempt under either express provisions of the Act or pursuant to applicable federal or state law, per California Government Code Sections 7927.200; 7927.700; 7923.600-7923.625; 7927.705; and 7922.000.
In regard to contracts and agreements with LexisNexis Accurint, please see the LACityClerk Connect Portal to view the contracts. The 2021 and 2023 contract are hyperlinked.
In regard to purchase information and other contracts and agreements, the Department continues to search for and identify responsive records. We will provide you with and update by April 25, 2024.
If you have any questions, please respond to this email.
