Record 101
Public records. Real footage. The full story.
A source-first project built around publicly released records: body-worn camera, dash-camera footage, dispatch material, reports, court records and the documents that put events back into context.

What this project covers
Start with the record.
FILE GROUP / 01
Public Record 101 is designed around the material itself rather than a pile of commentary surrounding it. Where records are publicly released, they can be examined together so chronology, context and contradictions are easier to follow.
02 / VIDEO
Dash-camera footage
Vehicle-mounted recordings that can add a second angle, establish movement and help reconstruct sequence.
03 / AUDIO
Dispatch & calls
Publicly released dispatch audio and related call records used to establish what was reported, when and by whom.
04 / DOCUMENTS
Reports & records
Incident reports, logs and other public records that explain what the official paperwork says happened.
05 / COURTS
Court material
Public court records and filings used where they materially help explain what happened after the incident itself.
06 / CONTEXT
The complete timeline
Separate records brought together chronologically so viewers can see how individual pieces fit into the wider event.
Encounters worth understanding
What can someone learn from the complete encounter?
A welfare check or a ride to safety can reveal as much about communication and judgment as a dramatic incident. We examine patient assistance, difficult decisions, mistakes and mixed outcomes through the available evidence.
Welfare and practical help
Checking on someone, helping confused or lost people, explaining options and solving everyday problems.
Intoxication and safe transport
Communication, preventing injury and arranging assistance when someone struggles to look after themselves.
Police and emergency responders
Coordination with ambulance personnel, de-escalation, handovers and cooperation during care.
Stops, pursuits and interviews
Our existing areas remain part of the project, judged by what the fuller record can teach.
Assistance, transport and referral are meaningful outcomes. An arrest or criminal case is not required. An online video is a discovery lead: we investigate the underlying incident, original agency-held recordings and supporting records, while reviewing privacy and release restrictions. A brief expression or isolated clip cannot establish intent or tell the whole story.

How it is built
Request. Verify. Reconstruct. Publish.
METHOD / 02
The aim is straightforward: preserve the distinction between what the source material shows, what official records say, and what remains unknown.
Request
Identify the records needed to understand an event and request material from the appropriate public body.
Verify
Check dates, document relationships, agency references and other available source details before presenting them together.
Reconstruct
Arrange footage, audio and documents into a clear chronology without pretending the record contains more than it does.
Publish
Present the material with enough context for the audience to distinguish source evidence from explanation.
Separate source from inference
Keep chronology explicit
Mark unresolved gaps
03
A public record is most useful when the viewer can see where the story came from.
Source before spin. The record itself should remain visible.
Context without theatre. Reconstruction should clarify, not dramatise.
Gaps stay visible. Unknowns should be marked as unknowns.
Public Record 101 is not intended to disguise an unfinished project as a finished publication. This site is being built alongside the request and research work, so the public-facing archive will grow as material becomes available.
The guiding idea is simple: show the material, identify its source, give it the context needed to understand it, and be clear about gaps. Where something is an inference, interpretation or unresolved question, it should look like one — not like a fact.
That is also why the project has its own domain and correspondence address from the outset: records, responses and publication should sit under one consistent identity.
