Organize information for a first conversation

- For a criminal-defense matter, record the charge description and the names of the agencies and offices appearing in your documents.
- Keep copies of relevant paperwork together and note which office or agency issued each item.
- Distinguish the Police Department Records Division’s assistance contact from the online request portal named on its Open Records page.
- For records-related questions, use the Police Department’s published Records Division phone or email; treat the request portal as a separate published resource.
