Caucus & COW
Overview
Enables any county, city, town or political subdivision of this state (municipality) to establish a fee
for requesting a copy of a video recording from a local law enforcement agency.
History
A victim of a criminal offense or a delinquent act that is a part 1 crime under the statewide uniform
crime reporting program (UCR) has the right to receive one copy of the police report from the
investigating law enforcement agency at no charge. Additionally, the court must provide, at no
charge, the minute entry or portion of the record of any proceeding in the case which is necessary
for the purpose of pursuing a claimed victim's right (A.R.S. § 39-127).
The UCR is administered by the Department of Public Safety who collects crime data from across
the state necessary for the study of crime, the administration of criminal justice and cooperation
with the federal government's UCR program (A.R.S. § 41-1750).
