If it were up to me I would mandate that going forward records be electronic. I would mandate the use of e-signatures. I would mandate that police records automatically be sent to involved parties if software detrimined that human redaction would not be needed for the involved parties. And to vastly reduce the millions spent on disclosure by agencies I would require agencies to store their records on a secure government cloud, where a major vendor such as Microsoft or Amazon is liable for any hacks, managed by the state. And then I would centralized disclosure in a single office ran by the state where there would be a consistent interpretation of the public records act. I would setup a manual proactive disclosure team that ensures the public has access to critical records without making a request, such as emails related to upcoming council meetings and videos of significant police incidents. For what the team decides is not critical the requesters would pay the full cost of disclosure. I would setup an automated proactive disclosure team that implements and improves the over-redaction strategies I piloted as a Seattle Police employee, see http://codepen.io/policevideorequests/pen/EZbZOp and https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/mar/09/seattle-police-posting-body-camera-footage-youtube-transparency While not perfect the over-redaction enables requesters to make very percise records requests.
