Dear
Ms. Acerro,
This
e-mail is sent to you in response to two requests for public documents you made
to the City of Chula Vista on December 28, 2007. The first was a request
for all lawsuits filed against Chula Vista police officers from 1990 to
present. Attached to this document in an electronic format (PDF) is a
list of all plaintiffs/litigants who have filed lawsuits against the City of
Chula Vista regarding police issues during the requested time period.
This document is responsive and should satisfy your request.
Your
second request was for all complaints filed against police officers from 1990
to present. This information is privileged pursuant to California Penal
Code section 832.7, which provides that all complaints filed against peace
officers and information obtained from these complaints is confidential and not
subject to disclosure. The City of Chula Vista is claiming an exemption
to disclosure of these records pursuant to the provisions of California
Government Code sections 6254(k) as it incorporates the statutory privileges of
Penal Code section 832.7 and Evidence Code section 1040 (official information),
6254(c)(personnel exemption), 6255 (right to privacy outweighs
disclosure), and other applicable statutory and case law.
Please
let me know if I can be of additional assistance. Thank you.
Joan
Dawson
