Re: Sunshine Ordinance Complaint Against the San Francisco Police Department

To Whom it May

Concern:

We represent the Blue Ribbon Panel on Transparency, Accountability, and

Fairness

in

Law Enforcement C'Panel").

We

submitted a Public Records Act request to the San

Francisco Police Department ("SFPD") on behalf of the Panel

on

December 16, 2015. On

December 24,2015, the SFPD invoked Government Code§ 6253(c) and agreed to respond by

January 8, 2016. On January 8, 2016, the SFPD sent me a three page letter in response to

my

request. My request along with the two responses from the SFPD are attached.

The SFPD's January 8, 2016 response to my request fails to comply with the

provisions

of

the Sunshine Ordinance. The SFPD provided no response to twenty-two

of

the

thirty requests made. This lack of response does not comport with the time limits set out in

Administrative

Code§

67.2l(b) and Government

Code§

6253(c). The SFPD stated it will

endeavor to continue to produce public records on a "rolling" basis but has not given an estimate

as to when it might comply with its public records obligations,

or

any commitment to do so.

Of the seven requests to which it did respond, the SFPD declined to respond to

three

of

them citing various statutory provisions. The SFPD did not explain why these

prohibitions apply or why, per departmental policy and Administrative

Code§

67.27, such

records

could

not be redacted.

For

example, the

SFPD

refused to produce

all

minutes ofSFPD

rady

Committee

I rady

Unit meetings, citing

Penal

Code§ 832.7, the U.S. Constitution, and

California State Constitution.

This

response does

not

indicate which constitutional provisions

might protect records of these meetings or explain why these minutes cannot be redacted in order

to make them able to be produced.

On behalfof the Panel, I request a determination from this Task Force that the

SFPD

has not complied with its public records obligations and an order compel ling it to fully

respond

to

the request within five days

of

the Task Force's determination.
