All Operations Plans and Official Action reports regarding the 7/19/20 permitted event and unpermitted event (This date specifies the date of the events, not the date of creation of records. I request all Operations Plans and Official Action reports relevant to activities on this date, regardless of when these reports were created);
Any and all communications regarding stand down orders, retreat orders, and communications between the incident commander and other officers, supervisors, and other DPD personnel regarding such orders.
If you deny this request for records in whole or in part, I ask that you provide a written statement explaining the reason for the denial that cites the legal authority that is the basis for the denial. If any of the requested records are in active use, in storage or otherwise unavailable at this time, I likewise request that you provide a statement informing me of the reason they are currently unavailable and a date and hour at which time the records will be available for inspection.
I am a member of the media and request that fees be waived. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
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.

Good Afternoon -
The records you have requested are currently a part of several open Internal Affairs investigations and this Department and the public share an interest in maintaining the integrity of those investigations. Again, both the Department and the public share an interest in a thorough and comprehensive review of the incident as numerous complaints have been received. Those interests outweigh any public purpose to be served by the release of the responsive records at this time. Your request for the records is respectfully denied because we believe it would be contrary to the public interest to provide records and evidence from several investigations in the early stages where witnesses have not been interviewed. Section 24-72-305(5), C.R.S.
