Where to find police community agendas and minutes

In Los Angeles, California, agendas and minutes for police community meetings and related commissions are published by the City Clerk and by the Los Angeles Police Department. This guide explains the main portals, how to request missing minutes, and the administrative contacts to report posting issues. It reflects official municipal sources and is current as of February 2026.

  • City Clerk meeting agendas and minutes portal: access official agendas and archived minutes on the City Clerk site via the meeting agendas page City Clerk meeting agendas[1].

If a recent meeting or minute is missing, first check the City Clerk portal and the LAPD division page before filing a request.

How to request minutes or corrected agendas

If an agenda or minute is missing or appears incomplete, file a public records request or contact the City Clerk. For LAPD advisory meetings, contact the division or the LAPD public affairs unit.

  • Search by board, commission, or division name on the City Clerk portal.
  • Check LAPD division community pages for division-posted minutes.
  • Submit a Public Records request to the City Clerk if documents are not posted; use the City Clerk public records/contact page City Clerk public records[3].
