From:
Dear Mr. Dhruv Mehrotra,
I am in receipt of your Public Records Request sent to the Kenosha Police Department (KPD). I am the custodian of records for KPD which include our responses for service calls within the city of Kenosha.
Your request is attached for reference. Could you please be more specific to the records you are seeking when citing: "any investigative reports for false reports of active shootings or bomb threats." KPD responds to hundreds of shots fired calls that are unfounded. Are you looking "swatting prank" calls that would include reported calls of mass shootings or bomb threats to schools or businesses or of a specific incident(s)
Please feel free to contact me via email or by phone so that I may address the records requests to your satisfaction.
Respectfully,
Sgt. Galley
Office of Professional Standards.
