Open Records Request – Dashcam/BWC Footage & Police Report
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally request the following records pursuant to the Open Records Act:
This request is for DASHCAM and BWC video footage from the first two squads on scene, as well as any subsequent BWC video related to the arrest of the primary suspect in this case. (For clarity, this request is being made in accordance with open records statutes governing the release of such data.)
In addition to the requested video footage, please provide the police report from the primary officer or the probable cause statement. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) may be excluded, though the narrative is crucial for understanding the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
