Police Misconduct and the Prosecutor's Obligations

DUTY OF PROSECUTOR TO REVIEW POLICE PERSONNEL FILES FOR BRADY MATERIAL
What duty does the DA have to review police officer personnel files for Brady (373 US 83) material? The C/A says that the DA must conduct such a review. If the DA finds Brady material, the DA must make a Pitchess motion in order to obtain a court order disclosing that material to the defense.
