To Whom It May Concern:

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

2. The total number of use of force complaints reported by civilians in 2018
3. The total number of use of force complaints reported by civilians that were sustained in 2018
4. All arrests data reported to the California Department of Justice via the Monthly Arrests and Citation Register program covering arrests made in 2017 and 2018, including (but not limited to) the age, race/ethnicity, gender, offense category (felony, misdemeanor, status offense), charge and disposition of arrestees.

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.

Email

Good morning:

The City of Elk Grove (the "City") has received your Public Records Act request dated July 17, 2019 ("Request"), requesting police data records.

In response to that Request, and pursuant to Government Code section 6253(c), this letter serves to advise you that it appears the Request, in whole or in part, seeks copies of disclosable public records that may be in the possession of the City, as provided by the Public Records Act, Government Code sections 6250 et seq. (the "PRA"). However, the Request may also seek copies of records that are exempt from disclosure under the provisions of the PRA, including, but not limited to, the exemptions set forth at Government Code sections 6254 and 6255.

The City will begin identifying the specific records, if any, which are responsive to the Request, and will make diligent efforts to ensure that all disclosable records will be made available to you as soon as possible. We anticipate that disclosable records can be available within 30 days (August 15, 2019). If additional time is necessary, we will so notify you.
The City attempts to provide records in electronic format whenever possible to avoid the cost of duplication and mailing; however, should you choose to receive physical copies of any disclosable records, the City will require payment of all costs of duplication, as authorized by Government Code section 6253(b), prior to the release of any copied records. The City will notify you of the total cost of such records as soon as such costs are ascertained.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information at this time. Please reference RFI-19-151 when inquiring about this item.

Thank you.

Subject: Your Request for Public Records (RFI-19-151) - Response

Email

Good morning,

The City of Elk Grove has identified records responsive to your request of July 17, 2019. Those records may be accessed via Dropbox at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rm6de92muapuf8n/AABwAZ6npAvWriJfHOmHkWt-a?dl=0; juvenile information has been redacted pursuant to exemptions under the California Public Records Act - Government Code 6254(k), and Welfare & Institutions Code 827, 827.9 and 828.

Please note that nothing in the Public Records Act requires the City to create a log of documents exempt from disclosure (Haynie v. Superior Court (2001) 26 Cal. 4th 1061, 1073, 31 P.3d 760). The determination regarding the exemption of records was made by the City Attorney pursuant to Government Code section 6253(d).

Please let me know if you have difficulty accessing the documents, or if you need additional information at this time.

Thank you.
