N. Police records.

Police records relating to ongoing or prospective investigations are exempt from disclosure. Once the investigation is completed, the records are open to inspection. See Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.878(1)(h), which states:

Records of law enforcement agencies or agencies involved in administrative adjudication that were compiled in the process of detecting and investigating statutory or regulatory violations if the disclosure of the information would harm the agency by revealing the identity of informants not otherwise known or by premature release of information to be used in a prospective law enforcement action or administrative adjudication. Unless exempted by other provisions of Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.870 to 61.884, public records exempted under this provision shall be open after enforcement action is completed or a decision is made to take no action; however, records or information compiled and maintained by county attorneys or Commonwealth's attorneys pertaining to criminal investigations or criminal litigation shall be exempted from the provisions of Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.870 to 61.884 and shall remain exempted after enforcement action, including litigation, is completed or a decision is made to take no action. The exemptions provided by this subsection shall not be used by the custodian of the records to delay or impede the exercise of rights granted by Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.870 to 61.884…

Police records of juveniles are exempt. See 93-ORD-42 (discussing exemption mandated by Ky. Rev. Stat. 610.320(3)).
