Your MuckRock submission does not include your address. We attempted to contact you via email to request your legal address, but you did not respond. Pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3704(A), only citizens of the Commonwealth and representatives of newspapers and magazines with circulation in the Commonwealth are entitled to assert the rights and privileges conferred by the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Accordingly, the Act provides that a records custodian may require a requester to provide his legal address. Because of your failure to provide your legal address, we could deny your FOIA request. However, as a courtesy, your request was forwarded to the Virginia Beach Police Department, Emergency Communications and Citizen Services, Emergency Medical Services and the Fire Department.
Stacey Moyer of the Police Department provided a public copy of the police report that is available for review/download by logging into the FOIA Request Center at the following link: FOIA Records Request - F007846-102519. She identified a two-page Call-for-Serivce Log, four-page Investigation Report, two detective memos and one death investigation DLOG that are criminal investigative material and are being withheld pursuant to Virginia Code § 2.2-3706(B)(1). Sharon Brady of Emergency Communications and Citizen Services identified a seven-page CAD report, and Donna Aydlette of the Fire Department identified an incident report. Those records are criminal investigative material and are being withheld pursuant to the same code section. Tyra Fitch of EMS advised that her department does not have responsive records.
