When we began this quest 8 months ago we really had no idea the depth of manipulative corruption we would discover. Indeed we only knew of six sworn statements given in what we were told was a “small internal investigation”.
Boy was that ever an understatement.
After extensive inquiry the first batch of statutorally required public records were released. That is what we have been sharing over the past week. Within that release we can grasp the scope of the investigation, and how far it extended beyond the internal confines of the General Investigative Unit of the M-DSPD. In actuality the investigation reaches all the way to Sanford, FL.
Indeed the investigation itself was far greater than we initially were led to believe. However, now we know the scope of investigation we have submitted more public records requests. Here is an excerpt from the latest submitted FOIA submission:
We are now seeking additional records surrounding the same internal affairs investigations [IA#12001, 12-002, 12-003, 12-004, 12-005 and 12-006] and seek the following per FL Statute Chapter 119.
The following items are requested to be provided as soon as possible:
On Friday April 20th 2012 Gerald Kitchell (then Major Kitchell) provided a sworn statement with internal affairs. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports. {Major Kitchell was the 2nd in command and first approached by Deanna Fox-Williams}
On Friday April 20th 2012, Lieutenant Roger Ramirez provided a sworn statement with internal affairs investigators. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports. {Ramirez was the Lieutenant who responded “oh now they want us to record things accurately”}
On Thursday March 30, 2012, Officer Darryl Dunn provided a sworn statement. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports. {Darryl Dunn is the Krop High School Resource Officer, he had the most frequent encounters with students, and the one who obfuscated the Criminal Mischief report – deleting the Jewelry}
On Wednesday April 4th, 2012, Dawn Baglos, Principal, Dr. Michael Krop Senior High School provided a sworn statement. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports. {Of obvious value}
Also on Wednesday April 4th, 2012, Major Evelio Rodriquez provided a sworn statement. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports.
On Thursday March 29th, 2012, Yvette Wilson, Secretary, MDSPD provided a sworn statement. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports. {Yvette Wilson is the person in charge of the property room where the jewelry was housed/stored}
On Thursday March 30th, 2012, Carmen Gonzalez, former Property Room Specialist, MDSPD provided a sworn statement. Please provide a copy of that transcribed affidavit and all accompanying notes and reports.
Also the following sworn affidavits of unknown date:
1. Former Police Chief Charles J Hurley
2. Francisco Garcia, Asst. Principal at Krop Senior High School
3. Lt. Randy Smith from Sanford Police Dept.
Along with all accompanying notes and reports.
Lastly, we request the final report issued by Internal Affairs investigators which contains their findings, summation, and recommendations based on all their interviews and investigative research.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and follow-through with this public records request.
We know all of these sworn statements exist because of the discovery material presented to substantiate the internal investigation around the initial complaint, by Chief Hurley, against the six officers. The existence of these affidavits is outlined in previous FOIA release. So we submitted requests accordingly.
The M-DSPD Director of Community Development and Public Outreach/Public Information has confirmed reception of the submitted request and is currently processing the administrative logistics toward release.
This Public Information Director works for Miami-Dade District School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.
