Pursuant to the Ohio Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

I am seeking documents related to an officer's reported exposure to fentanyl on or about May 15, 2017. This exposure was reported by CBS News as seen at this URL:

I am seeking any documents related to this incident, including (but not limited to):

- Policies/training materials for the handling of fentanyl by police officers
- Any incident report created by the East Liverpool PD
- Any internal and external communications about this incident, including any communications with journalists
- Any information about medical care sought
- Any information about medical care
- In the event medical information cannot be released, please indicate whether or not the officer's reaction was due to fentanyl exposure (i.e., Yes/No/Other)

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 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Tim Cushing

The officer was treated at East Liverpool City Hospital and was given multiple doses of Narcan. I don't believe there is anything stating that it was fentanyl but that is the only thing that it could have been.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it. Just one question: as stated in the request, I would like to know whether or not this incident was ever linked (by medical examination) to fentanyl exposure. Your response documents don't answer that question. Would you be able to answer that question for me with a yes or no response? Thanks again for your help!

Sincerely,
Tim Cushing
