On January 1, 2009, a new Right to Know Law (the "RTKL") took effect in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Under this statute, public records of the City of Pittsburgh are generally available to citizens who request them.
If you would like to request records from the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC), you will need to download a PHRC right-to-know request form. The form can be dropped off in-person, mailed, emailed, or faxed to the PHRC.
Section 702 of the RTKL provides that “Agencies may fulfill verbal, written or anonymous verbal or written requests under this act.” Therefore, agencies have discretion as to whether they will answer anonymous requests.

Under the Right-To-Know Law, all records are presumed to be public records unless disclosure is barred by: (1) state or federal law or regulation; (2) judicial order; (3), privilege, e.g., attorney-client or doctor-patient; or (4) one of the exceptions in Section 708 of the Right-to-Know Law.
All U.S. citizens have the right to request public records. If you want to request law enforcement records or data, you can submit a request in writing using the PSP or Office of Open Records (OOR) form.
