MORENO VALLEY – (INT) - The Riverside County District Attorney's Office has lifted its requirement that the City of Moreno Valley preserve all documents and electronically stored information.

This change allows the City to return to its long-established policies which, in many cases, are more stringent than State and Federal requirements for document retention.

In a statement Tuesday, the city said it has fully complied with the DA’s requirements, to ensure that law enforcement officials had complete access to all City documents.

"The City has gone above and beyond what the DA requested," said Mayor Jesse Molina. "We see the DA's decision this week as a positive sign which recognizes the City's commitment to transparency and our full cooperation.”

The requirement was an outgrowth of a corruption investigation.
