Our local Sheriff's Office here in California created a 501(C)(3) non-profit for fundraising about six years ago. It seems to be managed and operated by department personnel on Sheriff's Office property. A request for copies of their documents was made under the Brown act but County Counsel responded that the non-profit was exempt from the Brown Act. I wondering if their articles of incorporation or their bylaws are available from the IRS or the California Department of State. There is some funny-business going on here.
