Data on other individuals in the recording who do not consent to the release <br />must be redacted. <br /> <br />b. Data that would identify undercover officers must be redacted. <br /> <br />c. Data on other officers who are not undercover, and who are on duty and <br />engaged in the performance of official duties, may not be redacted. <br /> <br />F.
