A police advocacy group expresses concerns about the safety of officers on 'sensitive assignments' after the details of thousands of officers were published.
The city attorney's office said the agency was legally required to turn over the records under California law, although exemptions are often made for safety or investigative reasons.But Mr Camacho said on Twitter that the police department had not previously raised the issue of officer safety in arguing against the release of the information.
The searchable database of the officers' details was revealed late last week by Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, which said it should be used for"counter-surveillance"."Police have vast information about all of us at their fingertips, yet they move in secrecy.
Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched into Mr Moore and constitutional policing director Liz Rhodes after the Los Angeles Police Protective League - the union that represents officers - filed a misconduct complaint against them over the incident. In a statement on their website, the league said that the disclosure"will endanger police officers - especially those working in sensitive assignments".
It said that it would work to ensure those officers"are accorded the appropriate security to keep them and their families safe", adding:"The league is rapidly evaluating with both internal and external legal counsel any judicial remedy to this egregious affront to our members' safety".
