Certified document fee: $10.00 surcharge will be added to any of the above fees if official LAHD certification is requested. Certified documents can be provided free electronically, please print out on a color printer.

Please complete the form below to request public records under the CPRA. (Please note that the CPRA only applies to existing records held by LAHD and that some records may no longer exist due to their corresponding retention schedules. CPRA does not require a government body to create new information, to do legal research, or to answer questions. Requests for information [e.g. questions, clarifications, etc.] are not subject to the CPRA and should instead be directed to our public information hotline at (866) 557-7368 to be forwarded to the appropriate staff member.)
