Long Beach Police Department officials say the recent destruction of 23 years’ worth of internal affairs records was not prompted by a new transparency law, but acknowledged some of the documents may have been subject to it.

The destruction of records of internal complaint investigations does not include police shootings or in-custody deaths, Commander Erik Herzog said in an interview Friday.

The move was first reported this week by FORTHE Media following a vote by the City Council on Dec. 18.

Senate Bill 1421, which goes into effect on Tuesday, will allow the public to obtain the personnel and investigatory records of officers using deadly force, involved in sustained acts of on-duty sexual assault or engaging in dishonesty. Supporters consider it key to building community trust of law enforcement.

A quiet vote in Inglewood to destroy 20 years of records related to police shootings and use of force reviews in that city has sparked controversy, with civil rights leaders calling for officials to rescind it.

Herzog said the backlog of records in Long Beach from 1978 to 2001 was much different and that the decision to destroy them was not related to the new law.
