From: Daniel Mayer
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Materials related to and sufficient to show an anonymized summary of each incident responded to and reported by UCSC Police from 2018 to the time at which this information request is processed. "Incident" may not always represent crimes that occurred, as incident reports can also be created by officers for purposes of documenting a situation or concern, including suspected crimes or citizen public safety related concerns or complaints.
In particular, materials responsive to this request include all reports, lists, databases, spreadsheets, and other documentation summarizing such incidents.
If spreadsheets or similar documents are available in response to this request, please provide all segregable data, including but not limited to:
A summary of the nature of the incident
The date and time
The relevant case and tracking numbers for court and internal systems
The resolution or any action taken by the responding officer
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,
Daniel Mayer

The CPRA permits the University to collect duplication fees of $1.00 (5
pages at the rate of $0.20 per page) for all records provided. Our process
provides for a fee waiver when the University incurs no direct costs in
producing a copy of a record for public disclosure (i.e., when no printing,
photocopying, or scanning during the processing and preparing of these
records for disclosure was necessary). However, the University reserves the
right to charge duplication fees in the future as appropriate.
NO RECORDS EXIST
After a reasonable search, UCSC has determined that no records exist
responding to that part of your requests for:
“[...] The relevant case and tracking numbers for court [...] systems”
UCSC now considers this request fulfilled and will close the file. If you
have questions concerning UCSC’s implementation of the CPRA please contact
Information Practices at pra@ucsc.edu.
Sincerely,
Tyler Burke
Privacy & Information Practices Analyst
