So far WBPD has hid the incident report behind the "ongoing investigation" claim. Since they will not tell the aggrieved citizen what crime he is being "investigated" for having committed it makes the PD look as if they are covering up something.
Regardless of the status of the "ongoing investigation", isn't the PD still required to provide such information on request as per Right To Know? IMHO it's not necessary to convince the WBPD that it's in their "best interest" to provide this information. Rather, they should be politely reminded that if they don't provide the information on request, they will be committing a crime.
