After an arrest is made, knowledge of the criminal act(s) as well individual(s) who have participated in the criminal act then becomes public knowledge. The Albany Police Department's Public Information Officer produces bi-weekly arrests and responses for the public on the company website under the link titled "Police Blotter." Information will include the criminal act, the name, age, and address of the individual, as well as the location and time of the criminal act. However, criminal arrests which involve juveniles (those under the age of 18) will not disclose names. The Albany Police Department is compliant with the Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), therefore medical information including medical background or history of the individuals will not be revealed on the police blotter. The police blotter will never reveal the names of the victims, as it is our job to protect those who have been criminalized.
Harassment is a direct violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the core values of Albany's police department. Harassment is unwelcomed and creates a hostile or uncomfortable work environment. No one has the right to make someone else uncomfortable by jeopardizing their name, honor, integrity, or safety.
