Dear Mr. Mckesson, The Fresno Police Department Use of Force Policy is an exempt public record under the California Public Records Act. Government Code section 6254(f) exempts security procedures and information that would endanger the safety of persons. The release of the requested policy would endanger the security and safety of officers by giving an advantage to suspects in confrontations with officers. Therefore the Department will not be providing a copy of its Use of Force Policy. I apologize for the delay in our response. The request just now found its way to me.

Police Legal Advisor
