Sunnyvale Police Department Radio Audio For The Month Of February 2021

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Audio and Transcripts of all Sunnyvale Police Department Radio Audio For The Month Of February 2021.

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,

HTP

Hello,

Thank you for providing the list of calls. For this initial request the data should fit on a single CD or DVD if needed, as the audio quality should not likely be higher than 128kbps if output in MP3 form. I can provide a hard drive or USB stick if required, just let me know the size of the drive required.

As you're aware, due to the recent encryption of these radio channels, there's no longer any way for citizen access to these radio calls, and so the full archive is being requested for the month of March 2021. As stated by the involved police agencies, this move to encryption was made strictly to protect RP and suspect 'confidential' information, so any segments of the calls that are censored / redacted for privacy reasons is expected. However, to be clear, only the confidential information (such as someone's social security number) should be redacted from each call, leaving the rest of the call in-tact and audible.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you
Take care!
