RE: Public Records Act Request Dated December 19, 2018
Dear Ms. Fernandez:

This letter is in response to your California Public Records Act request dated December 19, 2018
requesting:

l) The names and reports ofof?cer involved in police of deputy misconduct, soon to be made
public as a result ofSB 142]. We are seeking records that date back to Jan. 1, 2017 in our
initial request. We would like a prompt return of these records, as required by law. Please
include video related to the incident.

2) As this process can be time-consuming, the second part of our request is asking for records
going back to Jan. I, 2014. We request that ?Part 2 of our request be made public
considering time restraints. Please include related video.

With respect to your request for records listed above, the amendments to Penal Code section 832.7,
effective January 1, 2019, do not apply retroactively, and therefore records predating January 1,
2019 are con?dential personnel records and exempt from disclosure. However, the Berkeley Police
Department has performed a good faith and diligent search for responsive records from the time
period of January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 and has determined that it has no records
responsive to this request. The Berkeley Police Department has also determined that there are no
responsive records post-dating January 1, 2019 to the present date.

With this reSponse, staff has completed its work to process and respond to your California Public
Records Act request.
