To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
I am writing to request the following information:
A complete list of all employees, their job titles, and their annual salary for the last Three years (2020 and 2023).
Please provide all training documents related to the use of force within the agency, including but not limited to manuals, protocols, guidelines, and any related memos or communications.
I am making this FOIA request with any and all agencies that may have the requested information.
The purpose of this request is to gather information that will aid in a research project examining agency practices related to the use of force. The information requested will be used to assess the extent to which agency training on the use of force has been effective. This research project is being conducted as part of a larger effort to promote greater accountability and transparency within law enforcement agencies.
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,
Jordan

A message was sent to you regarding record request #23-130:
Dear MuckRock News,
Pursuant to California Government Code section 7922.535, we write in response to the email received on April 3, 2023, that you sent to the County of Santa Cruz under the California Public Records Act, which was sent to the County via email (the “Requests”). We are submitting this response within the ten-day period for response set out in Government Code section 7922.535. We note that the Requests are limited only to records maintained in the normal course of business by the County and records that are in the County’s custody and control.
Please note that we will not produce records that are privileged or otherwise exempt from disclosure pursuant to California Government Code section 7927.200 and 7927.705. This includes documents pertaining to pending litigation or claims, and documents protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and official information privileges.
No preliminary drafts or memorandum not normally kept in the ordinary course of business will be produced pursuant to California Government Code section 7927.500. Records concerning real estate appraisals for pending acquisitions are also exempt from disclosure under California Government Code section 7928.705.
We will not produce documents that are subject to copyright protections, contain trade secrets, and/or proprietary and/or confidential information. See California Government Code sections 7922.570-7922.580, 7927.705, 7922.585; California Evidence Code section 1060.
Moreover, we will not produce documents exempt from disclosure under the deliberative process privilege. See Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325.
No documents will be produced where “the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest by the disclosure of the record” under California Government Code section 7922.000. Additionally, no documents will be produced if they contain personnel, medical, private, confidential, or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under California Government Code section 7927.700 and/or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. And, to the extent any of the records you are requesting are the subject of ongoing litigation and/or pending investigations, and/or are law enforcement investigatory records, such records are exempt from production. See Government Code sections 7927.200, 7923.600-7923.625.
In addition, no documents or records will be produced to the extent such a production would violate California Penal Code §§ 832.7, 832.8, 11076, California Civil Code § 129, California Welfare and Intuitions Code §§ 827, 828, 831, California Business and Professions Code § 805, or California Evidence Code § 1043.
Furthermore, as we review your Requests, we may discover other applicable privileges and/or exemptions under the Government Code, or other applicable state or federal laws, and we reserve all rights to assert those at any time.
After a review, the County has determined that it has some non-exempt records responsive to the Request. The County anticipates it will take approximately 30-days to compile and review the records. After the records are processed, the County will inform you of what costs, if any, for the production. Our deadline to respond is now May 5, 2023. Please contact me if you have any questions. As always, the County reserves all rights.
Kind regards,
Valerie M. Thompson
Assistant Chief Probation Officer
Santa Cruz County Probation Department
