The Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Court will determine what information may be released and to whom. Law enforcement agencies, school district police, Child Protective Services, the DMV, and attorneys representing involved juveniles may typically receive juvenile records. A juveniles parents may receive a copy of certain types of reports.
If you are eligible to receive juvenile records, you may fill out California Courts Form JV-575, along with the RBPD Report Request Form and submit for review.

California Welfare and Institutions Code 781 allows for the sealing and eventual destruction of juvenile records. To request the sealing of juvenile records, contact the Sealing Clerk at the Los Angeles County Clerk's Office at 1601 Eastlake Ave, Los Angeles CA.

If the petition is granted, the courts will notify RBPD directly and the records will be sealed and held for five (5) years. After five years, the records will be destroyed in accordance with WIC 781 and the RBPD document retention policy.
