Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
JOHNSON, Presiding Judge.
In this declaratory action, we are asked to determine whether a campus police force exercising the police power of the State of Georgia by express legislative grant on a private university campus is subject to the Georgia Open Records Act 1 to the same extent as other police forces in Georgia. We hold that, under the circumstances of this case, documents received and maintained by the campus police force at issue are not subject to the Open Records Act. We, therefore, reverse the trial court’s order holding that the documents are subject to the Open Records Act.
