RE: Public Disclosure Request # P2011-3237

Dear Mr. Mocek,

This letter is in response to your public disclosure request dated October 11, 2011 and received by Seattle Police Department on October 11, 2011 for all the CAD reports for West Precinct from 10/10/2011 to 10/11/2011. Enclosed please find a copy of the public record you requested.

Please not redactions have been applied in accordance to the following:

DOL Records: Records contain information that was received from the State Department of Licensing (DOL), disclosure of which is restricted or prohibited. Disclosure of an individual vehicle owner's name and address, driver's license number and VIN to third parties is limited under RCW 46.12.635 (See also, 18 USC § 2721). Criminal justice agencies in Washington State, such as SPD, have access to DOL vehicle records through the Washington State Patrol "A Central Computerized Enforcement Service System" (ACCESS). ACCESS procedures provide that criminal justice agencies have access to DOL vehicle records for criminal justice purposes and prohibit communication or dissemination to private individuals or companies for other than criminal justice purposes. While SPD is prohibited from providing this information to you, you correctly observe that RCW 46.12.635 allows certain individuals, businesses and government agencies access to it. Your request for access, however, must be directed to DOL. We direct you to the State Department of Licensing website (http://www.dol.wa.gov/), forms section, for a "Vehicle/Vessel Information Disclosure Request."RCW 46.52.130 prohibits release to third parties of abstract and certified copies of driving records. Driver's license photographs and medical or disability information is "highly restricted personal information" and may not be released to third parties under 18 USC § 2721. Explanation: Disclosure of information is statutorily restricted/prohibited and would violate the subject's right to privacy. The information could be used identity theft, fraud or other criminal activity.

You may file a written appeal with the Chief of Police within ten (10) business days from the date of this letter. Please include your name and address and a copy of this letter together with a brief statement identifying the basis of the appeal. Please mail or deliver your appeal to:

Chief of Police
Seattle Police Department
PO Box 34986
Seattle, WA 98124-4986
