§ 2-376. Confidentiality.

(a)

The monitor, its staff, the board, and all consultants and experts hired by the monitor shall treat all documents and information regarding specific investigations or officers as confidential except to the extent needed to carry out their duties.

(b)

The monitor's office shall not discuss with any person or group, including the members of the board, the status of any criminal investigation, other than the fact that a criminal investigation has not been completed and any anticipated date by which a criminal investigation may be completed.

(c)

The monitor's office, the board, and all persons who participate in the department of safety, police, sheriff, or fire department's investigative and disciplinary processes are part of the city's deliberative process regarding investigative and disciplinary procedures for personnel. Furthermore, all deliberations and recommendations learned by any of those persons or groups during the exercise of their duties shall be protected by the deliberative process privilege. For purposes of this subsection (c), "deliberative process privilege" has the same meaning as under Colorado law.
