Portal

To Whom It May Concern:

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

Arrest rate records for weapons, narcotics, and gambling offenses from 1993-1995. Ideally, the records would contain data sorted by month or week, instead of year.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Dean Reiferson

Hi,

I was a bit unclear on what this means. Is this saying the data I requested is not available for the general public to view (i.e. my request has been denied) or that my record request itself is not available for the general public to view?

Thanks

Hi there

Record request #21-10812 has been closed and published. The closure reason supplied was:

Dear Requester:

We reviewed your request for:

“Arrest rate records for weapons, narcotics, and gambling offenses from 1993-1995. Ideally, the records would contain data sorted by month or week, instead of year.”

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 6254(b); 6254(c); 6254(f); 6254(k); and 6255.

Documents responsive to your request have already been released in Public Records Request 20-4324 (see: https://lacity.nextrequest.com/requests/20-4324). The responsive documents, titled 1993Digest.pdf, 1994Digest.pdf and 1995Digest.pdf, are located on the left side under Documents. Adult Arrests by Month & Type of Offense are found on pages 32-33 and Juvenile Arrests by Month & Type of Offense are found on pages 46-47.

If you have any questions, please respond to this email.
