Good afternoon,

Thank you for your Freedom of Access Act request. Upon a search of records by staff at the Police Department, it was determined that there are no disciplinary records for Devon Spates. Therefore, we are considering this request complete. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you.

 

Best,

Danica Lamontagne
