Dear Sergeant Sayre,

Thanks so much for your response to my Public Records Act request. I appreciate it.

I notice that product information for some equipment - apparently firearms - has been redacted from several of the records. Please inform me of the sections of the California Public Records Act on which this redaction is based.

I also wish to inform you that new state legislation in 2022, AB 481, will require all law enforcement agencies in California to publicly disclose product descriptions, financial costs and other information for this type of equipment. While the agency may desire not to disclose the information, state law will require the agency to do so by May 1, 2022.

Sincerely,
John Lindsay-Poland

Sincerely,
John Lindsay-Poland
