Any such disclosure shall be at the discretion of <br />the agency and shall not include any information otherwise prohibited from disclosure. <br />This paragraph is declaratory of existing law. <br />(c) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), a department or agency shall release <br />to the complaining party a copy of the complaining party’s own statements at the time <br />the complaint is filed. <br />(d) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), a department or agency that employs <br />peace or custodial officers may disseminate data regarding the number, type, or <br />disposition of complaints (sustained, not sustained, exonerated, or unfounded) made <br />against its officers if that information is in a form which does not identify the <br />individuals involved. <br />(e) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b), a department or agency that employs <br />peace or custodial officers may release factual information concerning a disciplinary <br />investigation if the officer who is the subject of the disciplinary investigation, or the <br />officer’s agent or representative, publicly makes a statement they know to be false <br />concerning the investigation or the imposition of disciplinary action.
