Question:

How do I know whether my request should be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office or the Police Department?

Answer:

A request that should be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office will include any request for City records, other than Police records. Examples of common requests include: permit history, storage tank history, Fire Department inspection history, contracts, traffic video, and communications.

A request that should be submitted to the Police Department is a request for any identifiable record relating to the conduct of Bellevue Police Department business which is prepared, owned, used, or retained by the Bellevue Police Department. Police records include and are not limited to: Case Reports, Collision Reports, Crime Statistics, Incident Reports, Photographs Associated with PD Case, and Audio/Video Associated with PD Case

NOTE: As the Police Department does not conduct e-mail searches associated with requests for public records, any request that includes “e-mails,” “correspondence,” or “communication” should be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office for routing and processing, even if that request is ALSO for Police records.

NOTE: Permit Files, Certificates of Occupancy, Plans, Transportation ROW permits, and Land Use requests that do not include multiple types are records can be submitted using the Building Permit and Land Use button.
