LWV
- FileGate Lessons Learned

Public
Records Act Request work with OCSD!
Laguna Wood Village - We now have proof positive that although the
OCSD is no-responsive in many cases, when people file
a Public Records Act request, the department
responds…kind of.
Example:
After months of trying to get information
on FileGate, I tried reaching Lt. Griffin. Since
he would not return calls, I tried to talk to Sgt.
Lisa Von Normheim and Investigator Massey –
they would not talk to me.
I
then asked Mike Curtis to see if he had followed up
– on February 1, 2009 Mike sent an email to the
Sheriff’s department.
Since
I now had evidence of inquiries, I filed a Public
Records Request with the Sheriff on February 5, 2009,
and although it took the department until February 17,
2009 to deny they had any records, Mike did get a
response directly from the Lt. saying “the
incident was documented in an Information Report, not
a Crime Report. You were not listed as a suspect
of a crime.” – which means that the FileGate
was not robbery or burglary – one of the
FileGate outstanding questions. Others are still
open, such as if this was merely an Information
Report, why was Investigator Massy working the the
incident before the report was even filed, for
instance.
The
lessone learned is that for future reference, it is a
good idea to send emails to the department first, –
then call to follow up. Although telephone
records can be linked, it is too expensive and not
worth the effort, should questions arise. As in
this case, the department denied ever receiving any
inquiries, for example.
For
FileGate if you are part of the VillageTen People, you
should contact:
Lt:
GRIFFIN, WILLIAM P WPGriffin@ocsd.org
Investigator
Massey at 949-425-1941
Community
relations director: “Micalizzi,
Damon”
PRA Requests: “Prarequests” Prarequests@ocsd.org
- should you want to file your own request. Be
as specific as possible. For example: All
inquires from PCM to the department on issue XXX
from XX to XX.
