Conditions Governing Access

The collection is open for research. Some records in this collection may be restricted due to content or format. The reproduction of records is not permitted without permission of the Municipal Archives due to the inclusion of personally identifiable information (PII) and other restricted information throughout this collection.

In Subgroup 2, there are significant privacy concerns, in particular for the people being surveilled. Many of the subject file cards include or correspond to a picture, full name, date of birth, arrest history, political/organizational affiliation, address, citizenship status, DMV records, or other personally identifiable information (PII) of an individual (many of the photographs include this information as well). Similarly, there are details about informants in various places. There are also privacy concerns for the officers whose actions are documented as well, because the records can include full names associated with shield numbers, medical information, and fingerprints. Some records have not met legal retention periods and are restricted. Some media formats need specialized playback equipment to access (VHS and floppy disks in particular).

The Municipal Archives can provide redacted (PII) records for reproduction requests. Please contact us for more information or to make a research appointment.
