To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Records that identify equipment grants from Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funds to law enforcement agencies within the Los Angeles/Long Beach Urban area, approved since January 1, 2016, including grant application if available, that contain some or all of the following information:
Name of recipient or sub-recipient;
City or County of recipient/sub-recipient;
Summary description of equipment for which the grant was intended;
Dollar amount or value of grant, award, or sub-award;
Fiscal Year of federal funds from which grant originated;
Time period in which grant was to be executed.
The information we have received from the California Office of Emergency Services indicates that the City of Los Angeles serves as UASI authority or administrator in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Area. The Los Angeles City Clerk's office has indicated that LAPD is likely to have records responsive to this request.
Please disclose records as they become available to you. If you determine that any or all of the information in responsive records is exempt from disclosure, I request that: (1) you exercise your discretion to disclose some or all of the records notwithstanding the exemption; and (2) that, with respect to records containing both exempt and non-exempt content, you redact the exempt content and disclose the rest.
If you have questions to clarify this request, you may contact me directly at 510-282-8983 or via email at jlindsay-poland@afsc.org.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Dear Requester:
We have reviewed your California Public Records Act request.
Please be advised that, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6253(c), we have found that “unusual circumstances” exist with respect to the request due to the need to search for, collect, and review the requested records from other Department entities which are separate from the office processing the request. Therefore, our staff will require the statutory fourteen days extension of time in which to respond. A determination concerning your request will be made as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, simply respond to this email.

Record request #21-11595 has been closed and published. The closure reason supplied was:
Dear Requester:
We reviewed your request for:
"Records that identify equipment grants from Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) funds to law enforcement agencies within the Los Angeles/Long Beach Urban area, approved since January 1, 2016, including grant application if available, that contain some or all of the following information:
Name of recipient or sub-recipient;

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 Public Records & Subpoena Response Section, CPRA Unit
