The City is required by State law to timely comply with all requests for public records, but has the option to provide prior notice of release to a person named in the records or to whom the records pertain pursuant to RCW 42.56.540. RCW 42.56.540 states: The examination of any specific public record may be enjoined if, upon motion and affidavit by upon motion and affidavit by an agency or its representative or a person who is named in the record or to whom the record specifically pertains, the superior court for the county in which the movant resides or in which the record is maintained, finds that such examination would clearly not be in the public interest and would substantially and irreparably damage any person, or would substantially and irreparably damage vital governmental functions.  An agency has the option of notifying persons named in the record or to whom a record specifically pertains, that release of a record has been requested. Consequently, the City is providing this notification to Barry Paris and Union Representative Detective Betts to provide reasonable opportunity to review the records and determine whether they wish to seek a court order prohibiting or restricting disclosure. You can expect further response from the City on or before July 19, 2023. In the meantime, if you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I am seeking the records of police officer BARRY R PARIS (Born 1954) including any documents that involve his job application, previous employment history (including employment history and disciplinary history with Kodiak, Alaska police), disciplinary records while employed at your organization and any and all records relating to the two shootings that officer PARIS was involved in and any other use of force investigations or filings by officer PARIS during his time at your police department.
