Police Reports
It is the policy of the Pasadena Police Department to support and promote openness in government by releasing information in a timely and responsible manner. It is our obligation to protect the lives and property of the residents of Pasadena and to ensure that those who stand accused of violating the law receive a fair trial. (Department P&P F-4 I).
Police Records are maintained for a variety of purposes. It is our duty to disseminate the records appropriately, always weighing the competing interests of all parties involved. It is important that we consider the need to know, right to know, and what is best for the public interest. (Records Procedure 17.11)
Many police reports are not available for release. The Pasadena Police Department has a report retention schedule of (10) years
with some exceptions.
