GRO finds Riverton provided responsive walk‑through video and cadaver-dog report, denies appeal
Loading...
Summary
Michelle Nielsen appealed for an unedited walk‑through body‑cam video, a cadaver‑dog search report and a fee refund; the director reviewed footage in camera, found no tampering, confirmed the city provided an unredacted cadaver‑dog report by email and denied the appeal.
Michelle Nielsen petitioned the GRO seeking an unedited body‑worn camera walk‑through video, a cadaver‑dog search report and a refund or explanation of record fees. Nielsen said portions of the walk‑through were missing and that she had been told no cadaver‑dog report existed even though another party received an unredacted copy.
Riverton’s counsel said the city provided body‑worn video and emailed an unredacted cadaver‑dog search report on 11/18/2025 and that no video file exists for the cadaver‑dog deployment. The city also explained its fee calculation and said the fees were consistent with the municipal schedule.
The director conducted an in‑camera review of the walk‑through footage, found no evidence of tampering, and concluded Riverton had supplied all responsive records it possessed. The director denied the appeal, including Nielsen’s fee objections (noting the fee waiver process and timing), and will issue a written decision within seven business days. The petitioner retains the right to appeal to district court.
