Reports: uses of force and deaths in law enforcement custody.

Under existing law, if a person dies while in the custody of a law enforcement agency or while in custody in a local or state correctional facility, the law enforcement agency or the agency in charge of the correctional facility is required to report in writing to the Attorney General, within 10 days after the death, all facts in the possession of the agency concerning the death. Existing law generally provides that those writings are public records under the California Public Records Act, and are open to public inspection pursuant to that act.
