Shotspotter Data (Fresno Police Department)

Dear Michael Topper:
Thank you for your interest in public records of City of Fresno. Your request has been received and is being processed in accordance with the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Your request was received in the Fresno City Attorney’s Office, which is processing your request, on 5/9/2022 and given the reference number R017840-050922 for tracking purposes. Your request mentioned:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) A list, database, or comparable record of every alert that has been generated by the department's Shotspotter technology since time of implementation through December 31st, 2020 or the date at which Shotspotter was deactivated-whichever date comes first. For instance, if Shotspotter was implemented in the city on January 1, 2008, I would like all Shotspotter data from this date to December 31st, 2020. The list/database should include, where possible, the date, time, location (address or latitude+longitude coordinates), single or multiple shot distinction, whether the shots were confirmed, police district located, and associated case number for each alert.
2) Any document that provides information on the procedure for how the police department should respond to Shotspotter alerts. In particular, I am looking for a document that describes how the police will react to a Shotspotter alert. For instance, if an alert is created, are police dispatched?
3) Shotspotter rollout dates. If the police department rolled out the Shotspotter data by police district, please include the implementation dates attached to each police district.
The City Attorney’s Office will be coordinating with other City Departments in the collection and review process of responsive records. Within 10 days of receipt of your request, you will be contacted about the availability of the records in question, unless the response time is extended by written notification to you. PLEASE NOTE: The CPRA does not require a governmental body to create new records to respond to a request, do legal research, or answer questions that seek information only and do not seek production of an existing public record.

You can monitor the progress of your request at the link below. You will receive an email if an extension of time is required and once your request has been completed.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact the City Attorney’s Office at 559-621-7500.
Again, thank you for using the Public Records Center.

RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of May 09, 2022, Reference # R017840-050922. Dear Michael Topper, The City of Fresno (City) received your public records request under the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code, § 6250 et seq.) on May 09, 2022. Your request states: Request No. 1: A list, database, or comparable record of every alert that has been generated by the department's ShotSpotter technology since time of implementation through December 31st, 2020 or the date at which ShotSpotter was deactivated-whichever date comes first. For instance, if ShotSpotter was implemented in the city on January 1, 2008, I would like all ShotSpotter data from this date to December 31st, 2020. The list/database should include, where possible, the date, time, location (address or latitude+longitude coordinates), single or multiple shot distinction, whether the shots were confirmed, police district located, and associated case number for each alert: The City of Fresno Police Department is unable to fulfill this request because the requested data is owned by ShotSpotter through the contract with the City, therefore, the Police Department must request the data from ShotSpotter. ShotSpotter has advised the City that it will not produce or create records in response to public records requests received from third party requestors, or from the customer (City) on behalf of the third party, including but not limited to the following a list of, count of, or any details related to ShotSpotter Alerts in a particular coverage area, or a combination of ShotSpotter Coverage Areas. Ownership of the data (alerts) are explicitly defined in the ShotSpotter agreements, and such ownership belongs to ShotSpotter. Although the City has the right to respond to the alerts and use the data internally, the City is not permitted to release such data externally, as the data is deemed ShotSpotter’s property. Since the City is not the owner of the ShotSpotter data, it may not release the data to third party requestors. Request No. 2: Any document that provides information on the procedure for how the police department should respond to ShotSpotter alerts. In particular, I am looking for a document that describes how the police will react to a ShotSpotter alert. For instance, if an alert is created, are police dispatched: The City has located and produces documents responsive to this request, uploaded as FPD Policy 315. The City has redacted police agency records containing intelligence information or security procedures (Gov. Code, § 6254(f)). Request No. 3: ShotSpotter rollout dates. If the police department rolled out the ShotSpotter data by police district, please include the implementation dates attached to each police district: The City did not locate any records responsive to this request. In an attempt to provide responsive information, the City activated ShotSpotter devices on the following dates: 06/30/2015; 05/31/2016; 11/27/2017; 03/02/2018; 12/20/2018; and 11/11/2021, the rollouts were not attached to specific districts. Final determinations for this response were made by Travis R. Stokes, Assistant City Attorney for the City of Fresno. The City has redacted exempt information and/or records. Please log in to the City’s Public Records Center at the following link to retrieve the appropriate responsive records, uploaded into the system as: FPD Policy 315.
