Good Afternoon,
In response to your public records request dated and received on August 19, 2021 for all police related incidents, reports, complaints and involved shootings for different years, staff has determined that pursuant to Government Code Section 6253(c)(2), the City will respond to your request on or before September 13, 2021. The reason for this extension is because this request requires the City to search for, collect, and appropriately examine separate and distinct records.
