Since Senate Bill 1421 went into effect January 1, 2019, the City of Fremont has received more than 20 requests for public records related to officer involved shootings and incidents involving great bodily injury. Over the last four months the Department has been preparing video summaries and redacting numerous documents in response to these requests. On Wednesday, May 8, 2019, the Fremont Police Department uploaded officer involved shooting investigative summaries and videos for six past incidents that are not currently pending civil or criminal litigation. They are as follows:
January 16, 2015 incident on Lake Arrowhead
July 20, 2015 incident on Baffin Ave.
June 1, 2016 incident in Irvington
April 9, 2017 incident on Fremont Blvd. at Decoto Rd.
May 29, 2017 incident on Mowry Ave.
April 5, 2018 incident on Fremont Blvd. at Nicolet
The investigative summary documents and links to the videos can be found at www.Fremontpolice.org/Transparency. Many of these cases pre-date the agency-wide deployment of body-worn cameras and only limited in-car camera video is available. We strongly encourage community members to read the full investigative summary prior to watching the videos. These videos are not suitable for children and are graphic in nature.
Requests for all other public records subject to SB 1421, including redacted police reports, internal affair investigations, evidence including video and other case related documents, should be submitted directly to the City of Fremont City Clerk’s Office.
