Re: Public Records Act request # 23-902
Dear Mr. Swartz:
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (“Department”) has concluded its review of your Public Records Act request. Your request seeks a copy of records relating to Body Worn Cameras.
In response to your request for the number, if any, of Body Worn Cameras owned by this department or agency, including the manufacturer and whether a data storage package has been provided by the manufacturer, the Department is providing you with three (3) documents which may be responsive to this request.
In response to your request for any documents or correspondence during the period encompassing this request regarding possible or planned acquisition of Body Warn Cameras, the Department is providing you with three (3) documents which may be responsive to this request.
In response to your request for any existing usage policies regarding the use of Body Worn Cameras including protocols, training documents, data storage procedures and prohibited activities, you may find records which may be responsive to this request at https://wp.sbcounty.gov/sheriff/programs/department-policy-mandates
In response to your request for any proposed usage policies regarding the use of Body Worn Cameras including protocols, training documents, data storage procedures and prohibited activities, please be advised that these policies are currently in draft form. These records are exempt from disclosure pursuant to Government Code section 7927.500, which states that preliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intraagency memoranda that are not retained by a public agency in the ordinary course of business, need not be produced if the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Additionally, until any such policy is formally adopted by the Department, preliminary draft versions are covered by the deliberative process privilege (Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal. 3d 1325, 1342), attorney-client privilege (Evid. Code, §§ 951-954), and attorney work product privilege (Code Civ. Pro., § 2018.030. subd. (a).)
In response to your request for current or past litigation involving or referencing this department or agency involving the use of Body Worn Cameras, the Department has conducted a thorough and diligent search and has determined that there has been none.
Sincerely,
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department
