Colchester Police call in Burlington

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Vermont Public Records Act, I hereby request records relating to a call that a Colchester PD cruiser responded to in Burlington. At approximately 4:37 PM on Friday, July 10, a Colchester PD cruiser (a late-model Ford Explorer) was observed traveling east on Pearl Street in Burlington (near the cross-streets of Church Street and Winooski Ave) at a high rate of speed, with its' sirens on.

I am requesting dispatch logs relating to the incident. Additionally, I am requesting any police report, affidavit, or other paperwork (including use of force paperwork) relating to the incident, as well as any entries in your CAD/RMS system or other record-keeping system relating to the incident.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,
Brian Waters

Chief Allen, thanks for the response.

As you requested, I am resubmitting my public records request. However, I am specifically seeking the report you mentioned in your previous email, regarding the incident that occurred during a prisoner transport from superior court in Burlington to the Northwest Correctional Facility on Friday.

Thank you,
Brian Waters

PS, in case I have requests in the future, should I submit them to Ms. Spacapan as I did in this case, or is another contact point preferable?

Chief Allen,

Thank you for the response. This explains the car in Burlington.

Have a nice day,
Brian Waters
