Hello -
I do not believe that the provisions you cite provide a blanket justification for withholding all of the requested documents, including the factual report for the incident in question. Please provide the requested documents, or else provide a more thorough justification for withholding them, in keeping with the CPRA.
Respectfully,

The confidentiality of juvenile records rests with the Juvenile Court. The Welfare and Institutions Code clearly establishes the confidentiality of police incident reports (including all reports regarding arrest or detention of a minor) under section 827. T.N.G. v. Superior Court (1971) 4 Cal.3d 767, 777-778. A “stranger” or third party to the minors involved in a police encounter may only seek review of the records by a petition to the juvenile court. Wescott v. County of Yuba (1980) 104 Cal.App.3d 103, 108-109. We have no discretion regarding release of these records.
