We cannot permit inspection of these records because they are exempt from disclosure under IPRA, NMSA 1978, § 14-2-1(A)(4) (confidential law enforcement records); and NMSA 1978, § 14-2-1(A)(8) (otherwise provided by law). If made public the requested records would seriously interfere with the effectiveness of a state or federal criminal investigation or prosecution. My office will close out this request.

While the City cannot release these records under the IPRA, the United States Attorney’s Office or the FBI may be able to through discovery. Please contact the prosecuting attorney.
