Stat. §§13.82, 259.10, subd. 2, 243.166, 299C.54, 626.19 DESCRIPTION OF DATA: Certain arrest data, request for service data, and response or incident data are public data. An audio recording of a call placed to a 911 system for the purpose of requesting service for law enforcement, fire or medical emergency is private data on individuals, except that a written transcript of the audio recording is public, unless it reveals the identity of an individual otherwise protected under Minnesota Statutes, Section 13.82, subd. 17. Criminal investigative data collected or created by a law enforcement agency in order to prepare a case against a person for the commission of a crime or other offense for which the agency has primary investigative responsibility is confidential or protected nonpublic while the investigation is still active. Inactive investigation data is public unless the release of the data would jeopardize another ongoing investigation or would reveal the identity of individuals protected under Minnesota Statutes, Section 13.82, subd. 17. A law enforcement agency may make any data classified as confidential or protected nonpublic pursuant to Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 7 or as private or nonpublic under Minn. Stat. 13.825 or Minn. Stat. 626.19 accessible to any person, agency, or the public if the agency determines that the access will aid the law enforcement process, promote public safety, or dispel widespread rumor or unrest. Images and recordings, including photographs, video, and audio records, which are part of inactive investigative files and which are clearly offensive to common sensibilities are classified as private or nonpublic data, provided that the existence of the images and recordings shall be disclosed to any p erson requesting access to the inactive investigative file. Data on court records relating to name changes under Minn. Stat. § 259.10, subd. 2 which is held by a law enforcement agency is confidential data on an individual while an investigation is still active and is private data on an individual when the investigation becomes inactive.
