Nevada Supreme Court
Conrad v. Reno Police Dep't
June 15, 2023
Summary
The Nevada Supreme Court held that the district court abused its discretion by denying access to an investigative report based only on generalized assertions and without individualized findings about the report's contents. The court remanded for an individualized confidentiality determination, while affirming the redaction of officers' faces from body-worn camera footage because a specific confidentiality statute protects officers' photographs. The court applied abuse-of-discretion review to the investigative-report ruling and de novo review to the statutory-interpretation issue.
