San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department: Public Records Request
Dear redacted,
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (“Department”) has concluded its review of your Public Records Act request.
The records you have requested constitute confidential investigative records. Government Code section 7923.600, subdivision (a) exempts from California Public Records Act disclosure “any investigatory or security files compiled by any other state or local police agency, or any investigatory or security files compiled by any other state or local agency for correctional, law enforcement, or licensing purposes.” These records are exempt from disclosure, even if the prospect of enforcement proceedings is not concrete and definite. (Haynie v. Superior Court (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1061,1069; Black Panther Party v. Kehoe (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 645, 654; Younger v. Berkeley City Council (1st Dist. 1975) 45 Cal.App.3d 825, 833; American Civil Liberties Union Foundation v. Deukmejian (1982) 32 Cal.3d 440.) The records remain protected from disclosure even after an investigation has concluded.(Williams v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 337, 355–362.) Further, the release of such records could violate the privacy rights of involved parties and others named and/or depicted therein. The California Public Records Act recognizes that the right to privacy is a fundamental interest that the California Constitution protects. (Cal. Const., art. I, § 1; Gov. Code, §§ 7927.700 and 7927.705.)
For the reasons outlined above, your request is respectfully denied.
Without waiving the foregoing objections, exemptions or privileges and in accordance with Government Code section 7923.615 (a)(2)(A-E), the Department provides the following call summary information:
