Summary Statement:
The Argus-Courier has for a number- of years published information regarding incidents and complaints
reported to the Petaluma Police department. Formerly (prior to the advent of the CAD/RMS system), brief
incident/complaint summaries were made available to the Argus-Courier and published. Such
incident/complaint summaries are no longer prepared as part of the CAD/RMS system- The Argus-Courier
requested the City provide logs of incidents and complaints. Police Department staff did so, and continues
to make available to the Argus-Courier and others logs listing all calls for service, all arrests and incidents,
and providing arrest details. The Argus-Courier uses the Police Department logs to request additional
details concerning the incident/complaint. To expedite the City's response and accommodate Argus-
Courier press deadlines, staff have replied to such requests with additional details subject to disclosure, and
abbreviated responses concerning very sensitive records (such as records involving cases of alleged child
abuse) that are partly or wholly exempt from disclosure. Starting with a request received by the City March
31, 2006, the Argus-Courier has submitted an ongoing series of requests. focusing only on such very
sensitive records. The City Attorney's office has worked closely with Police Department concerning such
requests. Previously, Police Department staff handled most requests with little or. no involvement of the
City Attorney's office. Argus-Courier staff have asserted that the City has changed its records policy, that
the City's responses to records requests violate the California Constitution and the Public Records Act, and
that the Police Department does not keep the public informed about threats to public safety. This Agenda
Bill and Staff Report are intended to: to provide background for the City Council and the public concerning
California records laws; report to the public on how the City and its Police. Department keep the community
safe and informed, and safeguard individual privacy rights; and permit City Council cormnent and direction
on these matters.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RECEIVE AGENDA REPORT AND STAFF PRESENTATION AND GIVE DIRECTION TO
STAFF REGARDING ONGOING REQUESTS OF THE ARGUS-COURIER FOR
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN POLICE DEPARTMENT RECORDS
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Argus-Courier has for a number of years published information regarding incidents and
complaints reported to the Petaluma Police department. Formerly (prior to the advent of the
CAD/RMS. system), brief incidenticomplaint summaries were made available to the Argus-
Courier and published. Such incident/complaint summaries are no longer prepared as part of the
CAD/RMS system. The Argus-Courier requested the City provide logs of incidents and
complaints. Police Department staff did so, and continues to make available to the Argus-
Courier and others logs listing all calls for service, all arrests and incidents, and providing arrest
details. The Argus-Courier uses the Police Department logs to request additional details
concerning the incident/complaint. To expedite the City's response and accommodate Argus-
Courier press deadlines, staff have replied to such requests with additional details subject to
disclosure, and abbreviated responses concerning very sensitive records (such as records
involving cases of alleged child abuse) that are partly or wholly exempt from disclosure.
Starting with a request received by the City March 31, 2006, the Argus-Courier has submitted an
ongoing series of requests focusing only on such very sensitive records. The City Attorney's
office has worked closely with Police Department concerning such requests. Previously, Police
Department staff handled most requests with little or no involvement of the City Attorney's
office: Argus-Courier staff have asserted that the City has changed its records policy, that the
City's responses to records requests violate the California Constitution and the Public Records
Act, and that the Police Department does not keep the public informed about threats to public
safety. This Agenda Bill and Staff Report are intended to: to provide background for the City
Council and the public concerning California records laws; report to the public on how the City
and its Police Department keep the community safe and informed, and safeguard individual
privacy rights; and permit City Council comment and direction on these matters.
2. LEGAL BACKGROUND:
a. California Public Records Act Background
City records, including Police Department Records, are subject to various laws governing such
matters as what records must be retained and for how long, the right of members of the public to
access records, records that may be exempt from disclosure to the public under certain
circumstances, and records whose disclosure is prohibited. The primary law affecting law
enforcement records is the California Public Records Act ("CPRA"). Since November 4, 2004,
when Proposition 59 was adopted, Article I, Section 3 of the California Constitution has also
safeguarded the public's right to access government records, including law enforcement records.
In addition, a number of state statutes outside the CPRA apply to restrict disclosure of certain
specified law enforcement records.
The CPRA was first enacted in 1968 and modeled on the federal Freedom of Information Act.'
The CPRA has been amended many times since its adoption, and has evolved a large body of
case law. The CPRA makes all non-exempt, state and local government agency records
(including non-exempt portions of otherwise exempt records that can reasonably be separated
from the exempt portions) in any form or medium subject to public inspection during office
hours, and subject to being made available for copying on payment of duplication costs or a
statutory fee.2
The CPRA also includes procedural requirements that apply to disclosure of public agency
records. For example, records requesters generally must be notified in writing within 10 days of
the agency's receipt of the request whether the agency possesses the records sought and whether
they are wholly or partly disclosable, or. whether the time for notice of disclosability will be
extended.3 If the agency determines that a request seeks disclosable records, the agency must
state the estimated date and time when the records will be made available. However, the CPRA
does not specify when records themselves must be disclosed, only that they be made available
"promptly." 4
The CPRA's legislative intent is given as follows: "In etiacting this chapter, the Legislature,
mindful of the right of individuals to privacy, finds and declares that access to information
concerning the conduct of the people's business is a fundamental and necessary right of every
person in this state."5 The CPRA was passed "to ensure public access to vital information about
the government's conduct of its business.i6 However, disclosure of records under the CPRA
"involves two fundamental yet competing interests: (1) prevention of secrecy in government;
and (2) protection of individual privacy."7
Failure of a public agency to disclose records that are subject to disclosure in accordance with
the CPRA may be a basis of liability for the agency. Any person may bring an action for
injunctive or declaratory relief or writ of mandate to enforce a right to inspect or receive a copy
of public records under the CPRA, and prevailing plaintiffs are entitled to recovery of court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees.s Also, public agencies may not seek declaratory relief

concerning their obligation to disclose records; such an action may only be brought by
individuals or entities seeking disclosure of public records.9
b. Law Enforcement Records under the CPRA
The primary CPRA statute dealing with law enforcement records is Section 6254, subdivision
(f). Subdivision (f) is probably the most complex part of the CPRA. Unlike the other exceptions
from disclosure under Section 6254, subdivision (f) not only describes records that are exempt
from disclosure, but it also prescribes certain records that must be disclosed under certain
circumstances. It is important to understand the structure of subdivision (f) in order to
understand public agency responsibilities concerning law enforcement records.
First, the first paragraph in subdivision (f) exempts from disclosure law enforcement complaint,
investigation, intelligence, and security records. Second, the first paragraph of the subdivision
prescribes certain information that must be disclosed to crime victims and their representatives
(namely: the names and addresses of involved parties and witnesses - except for confidential
informants - the incident date, time and location, and witness statements - except for those of
confidential informants). Third, paragraph (f)(1) lists certain arrestee information that must be
disclosed (namely: name, occupation, physical description - including date of birth, color of
eyes, hair, sex, height and weight - time and date of arrest, booking location and circumstances
of arrest, amount of bail set, time and manner of release or location where being held, charges on
which the individual is being held, outstanding warrants from other jurisdictions and parole or
probation holds). Fourth, paragraph (f)(2) lists certain complaint information that must be
.disclosed (namely: the time, substance, and location of the occurrence, the time and date of the
report, the name and age of the victim, the incident circumstances and general description of any
injuries, property or weapons involved). Fifth, paragraph (f)(3) list certain information that must
be disclosed to requesters who declare under penalty ofpedury that the request is for scholarly,
journalistic, political, governmental, or licensed private investigator purposes (namely: the
current address of every arrestee and crime victim must be made available). Sixth, the first
paragraph in subdivision (f) exempts from disclosure information that if disclosed would
endanger the successful completion of an investigation or the safety of a witness or another
involved person or reflect the analysis or conclusions of the investigating officer.
In other words, Section 6254(f) of the CPRA begins with a broad exemption from disclosure for
law enforcement records, then specifies certain information that must be disclosed to victims,
regarding arrests, regarding complaints, and to members of the press and other specified
researchers, and then establishes exemptions from disclosure that, when they apply, override
public agencies' duty to disclose the records enumerated in subdivision (f). The main such
"overriding" exemption is the investigatory exemption.
C. Other Laws that Apply to Disclosure of Law Enforcement Records
Section 6254(k) of the CPRA exempts from disclosure records whose disclosure is exempted or
prohibited under federal or state law, including records that are privileged under the Evidence
Code. Essentially, Section 6254(k) imports into the CPRA exemptions from and prohibitions
9 Filarsky v. Superior Court (2002) 28 Cal.4" 419
against disclosure from other statutes and makes clear that they apply to the CPRA. Section
6254(k) helps clarify the applicability of prohibitions against disclosure that are contained in the
California Penal Code, the California Welfare and Institutions Code, and in certain local court
rules to certain especially sensitive police records.
For example, California Penal Code Section 11167.5 (Part of the Child Abuse and Neglect Act)
prohibits disclosure of reports submitted by mandatory. reporters of alleged abuse, and
investigative reports resulting in a summary report being filed with the Department of Justice in
accordance with California Penal Code Section 11169. Some statutory prohibitions against
records disclosure include penalties for violating the prohibition. That is true of the protections
in the Child Abuse and Neglect Act. Penal Code Section 11167.5(a) provides that "[a]ny
violation of the confidentiality provided by this article is a misdemeanor punishable by.
imprisonment in a countyjail not to exceed six months, by a fine of five hundred ($500), or by
both......
Also,. California Welfare and Institutions Code Section.827 prohibits disclosure of information
included in juvenile case files. In addition, Rule 10.15 of the Sonoma County Superior Court
Rules is protects from disclosure certain records of juvenile court proceeding. Any records
subject to Rule 10.15 may not be released without a court order.
Police department records concerning detentions for psychiatric evaluation are protected under
California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5328: That section provides that all
information and records obtained in the course of providing services under specified provisions,
including Section 5150, to either voluntary or involuntary recipients, are confidential, and may
only be disclosed to the individuals and agencies, and for the purposes specified in subdivisions
(a)-(x). Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5330 also gives individuals whose reports have
been released in violation of Section 5328 a civil cause of action for damages against the
individual who released the report.
Police department records concerning cases of alleged elder abuse are protected under California
Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15633. That statute provides that reports of alleged elder
abuse under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15630 are confidential and may only be
disclosed as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 15633. Under Section 15633(a), violations of
Section 15633 are misdemeanors punishable by up to 6 months in jail, a fine of $500, or both.
Thus, there are a number of statutes outside the CPRA that prohibit disclosure of certain
especially sensitive police department records under Section 6254(k) of the CPRA, such as those
involving alleged child abuse, eider abuse and psychiatric examination detainees. Further, some
of these statutes subject public agencies and public agency officials to criminal and civil liability
for unauthorized records disclosure.
In addition, disclosure of police records that are privileged or otherwise not subject to discovery
may violate constitutional privacy rights.10 An actionable constitutional right of privacy may
exist in information implicating a person's reasonable expectations of privacy. t l (Alarcon v.
1 p Alarcon v. Murphy (1988) 201 Cal.App.M I
Alarcon v. Mwphy (1988) 201 Cal.App.M 1; Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (1994) 7 Cal.4" 32.
Murphy (1988) 201 Cal.App.3d 1, 6-7; Hill v. National Collegiate Athletic Association (1994) 7
Cal.4a', 32).
3.
Except for the physical changes in the way Police Department complaint and incident records are
created and maintained since adoption of the CAD/RMS system, there has been no change in
City policy governing disclosure of Police Department records. Staff respond to most routine
records requests without assistance from the City Attorney's office. Requests that involve very
sensitive records, such as those containing information that is prohibited. from being disclosed,
are coordinated with the City Attorney's office.
Proposition 59 has enacted in the California Constitution protection for the public's right of
access to California public agency meetings and records. However, the savings provision
contained in Article I, Section .3, paragraph (3) provides that nothing in the amendment affects
any statute, rule or other authority that protects the right to privacy. Therefore, by its own terms,
Proposition 59 has no effect on the authorities described above protecting the privacy of child
and elder abuse victims, and psychiatric evaluation detainees. Accordingly, Proposition 59 has
not changed the law concerning Police Department records containing such protected
information.
4. PETALUMA POLICE DEPARTMENT PUBLIC_ I1 wRMATION POLICIES
As can be seen from the above discussion of California public records laws, in addition to being
charged with protecting the public, the Police Department, like the other City departments, is
obligated to both make available to the public Police Department records that are subject to
disclosure, and to safeguard records whose disclosure is prohibited. As is also indicated above,
both non -disclosure of records subject to disclosure, and disclosure of certain exempt records,
may expose the City and/or City officials to criminal or civil liability. Accordingly, Police
Department staff are trained to respond to requests from members of the public, including the
press, and to coordinate the response with the City Attorney's office when necessary, such as
concerning especially sensitive records.
As part of its commitment to keep the Petaluma community safe and informed about Department
activities, in addition to responding to records requests from the public, the Police Department
has two different public information programs involving release of Department information. The
first involves the release of records logs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday of each week. Such
logs include a Calls for Service Operations Log (listing all calls for service), a Daily Bulletin
(listing arrests and incidents), and Arrest Log (providing arrest details). The logs are generated
and made available free of charge, whether or not they have been requested.
The second public information program involves press releases concerning mattes of public
safety. Some recent examples of this policy at work include the press release on December 29,
2005, about a knife assailant that was taken into custody, the press release on March 23, 2006
about a potential kidnapping, the press release on March 31, 2006, about multiple burglaries, and
the press release on April 7, 2006, about a female high school student who was accosted. It is
Petaluma Police Department policy to issue press releases when the Department has information
whose release may help protect the public; such as by alerting community members about
unapprehended suspects that may pose a risk, and/or by seeking information from the community
that can assist Department investigations.
5. ALTERNATIVES::
Staff have no alternative to recommend to the Council other than continued compliance with the
records laws requirements specified above. Staff hope that open dialogue with the Argus-
Courier and the public will help result in an informed public and avoid unnecessary public
expense.
6. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Ongoing requests for very sensitive Police Department records involve increased effort of Police
Department staff and coordination with the City Attorney's office. The City Attorney's office
has advised the Argus Courier that from February 1, through May 25, the City Attorney's office
has expended 61.4 hours and the City incurred $9,284 in legal fees for legal analysis and
coordination with Police Department staff regarding requests of the Argus-Courier (and requests
of its affiliated news papers, the Press Democrat and New York Times) for the very sensitive
Police Department requests discussed above. These amounts include only effort of the City
Attorney's office. In addition, Police Department staff has expended effort in responding to such
requests. Such staff efforts and costs are ongoing, because Argus-Courier requests for such
sensitive records are ongoing.
7. CONCLUSION:
An editorial and an article in the May 31 Argus-Courier assert that City records policy has
changed, and that fewer Police Department records are being made available than previously.
The articles also question the need for involvement of the City Attorney's office in requests for
the sensitive Police Department records described above, and assert that the City's responses to
the Argus-Courier's records requests violate the law, and that the Police Department does not
inform the Petaluma Community about potential threats to public safety. The purpose of this
Agenda Report is to report to the City Council and the public concerning the City's records
disclosure policies, coordination among City departments regarding requests for Police
Department records, the City's compliance with California records laws and the constraints
imposed by such laws, and the commitment and policies the Petaluma Police Department to
protect community safety, ensure the public are informed, and that individual privacy rights are
safeguarded..
8. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS TIIAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION:
City compliance with public records laws should keep the public informed and avoid liability
from either unlawful disclosure or non -disclosure of public records. Compliance with Police
Department information release programs should help the public stay safe and informed.

Subject: Request for information on abuse cases
Dear Sue:
Our reporter Yovanna Bieberich has asked for information about the following child abuse
and elder abuse cases since mid -February. Your response to all of them has been either
"confidential" or "no info to be released." We understand and appreciate the department's
right withhold informationabout a specific case if doing so would jeopardize an
investigation. However, if the investigation is complete or if releasing some details
would not jeopardize the investigation, we would expect that information to be released
under the requirements of the California Public Records Act. We believe you should be
able to tell us.some information about these cases, such as the nature of abuse and some:
of the circumstances such as the age and gender of the victim. We are not asking for the
-names of the victims. But we would like to report, for example, that "police investigated
a report that an 86-year-old man in a convalescent home was beaten by an employee" or
"police investigated a.report that a 7-year-old girl was struck repeatedly by a relative."
Please review the following cases again and provide details such as type of abuse
(physical abuse?), age and gender of victim. Have any arrests been made on any of these
cases?
twenty child abuse cases:
2043

Re: Request for Public Records Dated March 31 2006
Dear Mr. Samson:
Eric W. Daniy
Attorney at Law
707.545.80D9
As you know, we represent the City of Petaluma. This letter concerns your email request dated March 31,
2006 and received by the City on that same day. Pursuant to the California Public Records Act ("CPRA'),
the letter requests Petaluma Police Department records on twenty (20) child abuse cases and one (1) elder
abuse case. More precisely, your request sought information, such as nature of abuse; age and gender of
victim, and whether arrests have been made, for the identified case numbers,
After carefully reviewing the records in the City s possession, we have determined that the case records
requested are exempt from disclosure under California Government Code Sections 6254(k) and 6255.
Government Code Section 6254(k) applies to records whose disclosure Is exempted or prohibited under
federal or state law. Government Code Section 6255 applies to information where the public interest in
nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. Therefore, -your request for such
information is denied, in accordance with the following.
We have determined that all but one of the twenty (20) child abuse records requested are exempt from
disclosure under Government Code Section 6254(k) because they are reports made pursuant. to Carfomia
Penal Code Section 11166 and, pursuant to Penal Code Section 11167.5, such reports shall be kept
confidential and may only be disclosed to those individuals and agencies specified in subdivision (b) of
Penal Code Section 11167.5. The Petaluma Argus-Courfer is not one of those individuals or agencies
identified in subdivision (b) of Penal Code Section 11167.5. Furthermore, as you may be aware, Penal
Code Section 11167.5(a) provides that'la]ny violation of the confidentiality provided by this article is a
misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed six months, by a fine of five
hundred ($50% or by both..." Therefore; not only is disclosure prohibited, disclosure will subject the City
to criminal liability.
The only record sought concerning minors not made pursuant to the mandatory reporting requirements of
California Penal Code Section 11166 and the prohibition against disclosure in Section 11167.5, is exempt
from disclosure under Government Code Section 6254(k) because the report was made pursuant to
California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5156 and, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 5328, such reports shall be confidential and shall only be disclosed to those individuals, agencies,
and purposes provided in subdivision (a)-(x). Again, the Petaluma Argus-Courler is not one of those
individuals, agencies, or purposes identified in subdivisions (a)-(x). Welfare and Institutions Code Section

5330 provides the individual whose report has been released in violation of Section 5328 a cause of action
for damages against the individual who released the report
Also, some or all of the twenty (20) child abuse reports, and the excerpts sought from such reports, may be
exempt from disclosure under California Government Code Section 6254(k) due to their inclusion in a
juvenile case file. The. disclosure of such files is only permissible to those persons and agencies identified
in California Welfare and Institutions Code.Section 827(a)(1)(A){0)..The Petaluma Argus-Courier is not
one of those individuals or agencies identified in subdivision (a)(1). Additionally, Rule 10.15 of the Sonoma
County Supedor Court Rules, is applicable to any case subject to a juvenile court proceeding. Any records
subject to.Rule 10.15 may not be released without a court order.
Additionally, the March 31, 2006 letter requests information on one elder abuse case. This record is
exempt from disclosure under Government Code Section 6254(k) because the report was made pursuant
to California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15630 and, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 15633, such reports:shall be confidential and may only be disclosed as provided in subdivision (b)
of Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15633. The Petaluma Argus-Courier is not one of those persons
or agencies identified in subdivision (b). Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15633(a), a
violation of Section 15633 is a misdemeanor punishable by'jail time and a fine.
In addition to the express prohibitions against disclosure addressed above, the child abuse and elder abuse
records requested are also exempt from disclosure under California Government Code Section 6255i which
provides that records may be withheld from disclosure when, based.on the facts of the particular case, 'the
public interest served by not disclosing the records clearly outweighs the public interest served by
disclosure of the record." Here, the Legislature has already in essence applied this balancing test by
enacting the provisions of California law addressed above prohibiting disclosure of the reports requested.
I am responsible for this determination concerning your records request in my capacity as City Attorney of
the City of Petaluma, in consultation with authorized representatives of our client the City. If you have any
questions, or are able to refer me to controlling legal authority that supports a different result, please
contact me.
