California Penal Code §§ 832.7 and 832.8 mandate the public release of peace officer personnel records in accordance with the California Public Records Act (Section 6250 of the Government Code). Amendments to Cal. Penal Code §§ 832.7 and 832.8 went into effect in 2019 and 2022, with the implementation of Senate Bills 1421 and 16, respectively.
Cal. Penal Code § 832.7 mandates the release of records pertaining to the following peace officer personnel records:
Cal. Penal Code § 832.7 also provides direction on the types of records and information which shall not be publicly disclosed as part of any public release. Such direction is compulsory and requires agencies to redact or withhold records in accordance with the direction provided.
The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) has established an index of incidents meeting disclosure criteria as outlined in Cal. Penal Code § 832.7. This index was created through a comprehensive review of multiple records management systems utilized by the Department over the last several decades.
As we continue to gather, review, and identify records subject to public disclosure, records responsive to the incidents listed below will be made available. The incident data and records published below are based on information available at the time of publishing. Incident details published to this index are subject to change pending the SPD’s receipt of new information, and at the conclusion of any related administrative or criminal investigation(s).
As custodians of government records often containing private and confidential information, SPD has a duty to thoroughly ensure that all confidential or private information pertaining to community members and officers is not inadvertently released. Additional information related to the records or information exempted from disclosed records is included with each records release.
SPD’s index of incidents for which records are subject to disclosure, as well as records previously released by the Department, are reflected below.
