CRIME REPORTS AND SUBPOENAS gavel

The general assumption is that all records held by state agencies are public and must be made available to the public promptly upon request. However, the Legislature has recognized the need to balance the public's right to know against compelling rights to privacy and the government's need to perform its functions in a reasonable efficient manner. For that reason, it is the policy of the Monrovia Police Department to not release records and information. It is the responsibility of the Monrovia Police Department to maintain the security and confidentiality of police reports and related information. Unauthorized release of information can lead to compromised security, harm to victims or witnesses, inappropriate release of confidential information, and unnecessary exposure to civil liability. The purpose of this policy is to establish a comprehensive reference and procedure for the maintenance and release of agency reports and records in accordance with applicable law.

If you are going through criminal proceedings, you will be provided a copy of your crime report through your attorney and the District Attorney's Offices. This process is called the "discovery process." You must work with the District Attorney's Office. For more information, click on Los Angeles Superior Court.

There is a $15.00 charge for all civil subpoenas. For more information, click on Los Angeles Superior Court.
