The city of Santa Rosa won’t release police body camera footage showing officers serving a search warrant on Councilman Eddie Alvarez. The city was granted five extensions for more time to consider a public records request for the video. The Press Democrat requested the footage in mid-October. Police served Alvarez the search warrant after he left a council meeting at City Hall in January of last year. The warrant was part of an investigation into a murder that happened in September of 2021. Alvarez is not a suspect.
