To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
All data, broken down by geographic division, compiled by the LAPD's "sentiment meter," for each month since it's been in use. The sentiment meter is anonymous real-time polling of Angelenos to gauge their sense of safety and trust in the police, as reported on here: https://www.wired.com/story/elucd-sentiment-meter-helps-cops-understand-precincts/
For clarity, this polling is reportedly conducted by the Brooklyn-based startup Elucd.
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,
David Uberti
From: Los Angeles Police Department
City of Los Angeles

Hi there
Record request #19-7035 has been closed. The closure reason supplied was:
Dear Requester:
We reviewed your request for “sentiment meter” data compiled/provided by ELUCD.
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.
The responsive documents have been provided to you.
If you have any questions, please respond to this email.
Respectfully,
LAPD Discovery Section, CPRA Unit
