Although SFPD has 10 calendar days to respond to your request, we are invoking an additional 14-day extension of time to respond to your request pursuant to Government Code section 6253(c) because of the need to search, collect, review, and consult with another department.  Once it has been determined whether or not the information you request is responsive and subject to disclosure, we will advise you as soon practicable but no later than August 16, 2021.

Dear Customer:
The Body Camera Unit is experiencing a heavy backlog with BWC video requests. Requests that are time sensitive-those with pending court dates, claims, any additional legal matters, etc.- have been placed on priority.
Additionally, your request is too broad. Please narrow down your request by providing the incident numbers for the evidence you are requesting so we can better assist you with your request. We will proceed to close this request if no response is received within 10 days.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Legal Division - Body Camera Unit
