Peace officers.

Existing law provides that peace officer or custodial officer personnel records and records maintained by any state or local agency, or information obtained from these records, are confidential and shall not, subject to exception, be disclosed in any criminal or civil proceeding, as specified. Existing law also provides circumstances under which the employing agency may release factual information concerning a disciplinary investigation of the officer. Existing law states that these provisions do not apply to investigations or proceedings concerning the conduct of peace officers or custodial officers, or an agency or department that employs those officers, conducted by a grand jury, a district attorney's office, or the Attorney General's office. This bill would specify that those provisions do not apply to criminal investigations or proceedings concerning the conduct of peace officers, as specified. This bill would make other technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
