Public Record Act Policies

Below you will find a few different agency or department Public Records Act policies. I find it very helpful to start with the agency's own printed policy to start my quest. If they have a published policy they might actually KNOW the law. Notice the word might is italicized. The First Amendment Project put together a really nice tri-fold .pdf that I have found was helpful and clearly explains the Law and its provisions.

Here are a few Public Record Act Policies I found today. You may want to bookmark or download them.

California Attorney General (has nice training .pdf) (Summary of Public Records Act)

California Environmental Protection Agency (Policy)
For more information contact Cal/EPA’s public records officer: Jami Ferguson at 916 322-2935 or jferguso@calepa.ca.gov

California Department of Corporations (Policy)

Department of Boating and Waterways (Policy)

State Water Resources Control Board (Policy)

Orange County Sheriff/Coroner (Policy)

Sometihing Smell really bad in the Antioch Police Deaprtment!!!!The police are "profiling" certain residencts and are using question "probal cause" if any to gain entry in to homes of persons who they believe are Section 8 tenants.
The citizens who are questioning these tactics use by the Antioch Police Department need to DEMAND at the next City Council meeting to have Antioch Police Departments Policies and Proceedures available to the public to review at City Hall during business hours.
Knowledge is power!!!! Note every California Police Department has its own policies which is mandated by the State of California Police Officer Standars of Trainging.
