Request Information
Detailed information of your request:
Hello, I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to seek more information regarding a concluded Internal Affairs investigation. On Monday, August 23, 2021 Assistant Chief of Police Elena Blake issued a response within an inquiry submitted by Emily Whitehorse stating that any questions regarding concluded IA reports may be done publicly.
The report I am seeking more information about was submitted by Paige Dredd. I have inserted a copy of the conclusion below.
Was Detective Grace Steel required to submit any body cam footage regarding this incident, or was only a written report submitted?
Secondly, why was there no disciplinary action taken place when the conclusion of the Internal Affairs investigation clearly states that Detective Grace Steel was negligent resulting in the accidental discharge of her firearm (three separate times), resulting in the injury of Ms. Paige Dredd? At what point would punishment for this negligence be appropriate? Negligence resulting in death instead of injury?
Thirdly, did the Los Santos Police Department issue an apology to Ms. Dredd for the negligence of Detective Grace Steel?
And finally, why was it decided that the Internal Affairs Group would not open an in-depth investigation into this complaint and occurrence? How is it decided whether or not a complaint will be fully investigated?
Thank you so much for your time.
Warmest regards,
Molly Devil - Editor in Chief
