TPD ORA,
I previously responded to their original request on 1/4/2021. However, since they sent a follow up, here is a second response:
The crime analysts cannot process this request as the data necessary to do so is stored in the Internal Affairs system, not accessible by us. Please route this request to Internal Affairs if approved to be processed.
Thank you,
Charles.

Internal Affairs Response:

Reference the request of any Internal Affairs investigations or files related to this matter, we do not release Internal Affairs investigations per Oklahoma State Statute 51 OS 24A.7 and 24A.8.
