To Whom It May Concern:
I'm following up on the following California Public Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Oct. 8, 2021. You had previously indicated that it would be completed on Nov. 8, 2021. I wanted to check on the status of my request, and to see if there was a new estimated completion date. You had assigned it reference number #PRR-2021-318.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Placentia Police Department
Good morning,
The City is in the process of collecting the documents requested. Given the voluminous nature of your request, the City will need substantial time to complete its review of each of the documents (and each of the attachments to submitted claims) to determine whether the documents requested include information that is exempt from disclosure, or information which cannot be legally disclosed.
Once the documents become available for disclosure, we will provide them to you once available. The City will provide a response to you by November 22, 2021 with responsive records if any.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Attached please find responsive documents. Since January 1, 2020, the Placentia Police Department has had one incident where a 40 mm projectile launch platform was deployed. In May 2021, patrol officers utilized a 40 mm to break out the driver side door window of a vehicle where a suspect barricaded themself.
At this time your request is deemed complete.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you,
My last day with the City of Placentia will be on November 23rd. Please cc Deputy City Administrator Rosanna Ramirez (rramirez@placentia.org<mailto:rramirez@placentia.org>) on all communications. Thank you!
