I have reviewed your request and we do not have anything to provide in response to your request. I have heard that some District Attorneys Offices in some jurisdictions keep a Brady/Giglio list/database that has contains possible exculpatory or possible impeachable material on specific law enforcement officers – our office does not have such a database or list.

As far as specific information in regard to violations of internal law enforcement department policy we would not be aware of that. You would have to request that from the specific law enforcement agency.
