Upon receipt of a PRA request for AVSS footage or audio recordings pursuant to Penal Code 832.7(b), institutions or program areas shall contact the OPR video redaction staff.

If a request for AVSS footage is vague or covers an overly broad timeframe (a \u201cblanket\u201d request), the assigned OPR video redaction staff shall attempt to clarify the request. The purpose of the clarification process is to assist the requestor in locating the AVSS footage by narrowing the request to a specific person(s) involved, date, time, location (e.g., institution, housing unit, yard, etc.), or event. If attempts to clarify a \u201cblanket\u201d request are unsuccessful, the assigned OPR staff shall submit to have the PRA request denied by sending the request to the OLA PRA mailbox. Any denials based on a blanket request shall be reviewed and approved by CDCR\u2019s General Counsel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\n\t<\/ul>\n\t","protected":false},"parent":9117,"template":"","class_list":["post-29628","dom","type-dom","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>47040.11 Public Records Act Requests - Department Operations Manual (DOM)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"47040.11 Public Records Act Requests - Department Operations Manual (DOM)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\/operations-manual\/dom\/chapter-4-information-technology\/article-31-unassigned\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Department Operations Manual (DOM)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-16T15:45:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/chapter-4-information-technology\\\/article-31-unassigned\\\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/chapter-4-information-technology\\\/article-31-unassigned\\\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\\\/\",\"name\":\"47040.11 Public Records Act Requests - Department Operations Manual (DOM)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-06T23:46:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-16T15:45:41+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/chapter-4-information-technology\\\/article-31-unassigned\\\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/chapter-4-information-technology\\\/article-31-unassigned\\\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/chapter-4-information-technology\\\/article-31-unassigned\\\/47040-11-public-records-act-requests\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"DOM\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.cdcr.ca.gov\\\/operations-manual\\\/dom\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Chapter 4 &#8211;
