As with other police records, not all information can be released. He said video from WUDI¿F VWRSV DQG ¿HOG LQWHU- views will be accessible, but records from active criminal investigations probably will not be released immediately. “Our intent is to try to be as transparent as possible, as open as possible,” he said. Edmiston said, however, if DQ RI¿FHULQYROYHG VKRRWLQJ is recorded, a criminal inves- tigation would be conducted by another law enforcement agency, and the video would probably not be immediately available. He said the depart- ment might also “have to get a green light” from its insur- ance company before releas- ing such material. The department charges $10 per request, plus $35 per hour of work and $2 per DVD. Edmiston said the department will try to answer requests within a 10-day period. continued from page A1 SROLF\ WR UHTXLUH RI¿FHUV WR UHFRUG DOO WUDI¿F VWRSV GLVWXUEDQFHVDQGZKHQRI¿- cers are at risk of injury.
