Re: Notice to preserve records and electronically stored information — Jacob Thomas Raab
This letter is formal notice to preserve, and to suspend any routine destruction, overwrite, purge or retention-schedule deletion of, all records and electronically stored information relating to me and to the events identified above. Proceedings are pending and further proceedings are anticipated, and these materials are relevant to them.
Specifically, I request:
1. All video and audio, including body-worn and in-car camera, facility, holding-area and interview recordings, and all 911 and radio audio.
2. All reports, notes, logs, dispatch records and internal communications, including email, text and messaging platforms.
3. All monitoring-device data, alerts, calibration and maintenance records, and vendor communications.
4. All medical, treatment and custody records, including access and audit logs showing who viewed them.
5. All metadata, audit trails, backups and archived copies of the above.
Please confirm in writing, within ten days, that a hold is in place, and identify the custodian responsible. Failure to preserve after this notice may support a claim of spoliation and the remedies that follow from it.
This notice does not request production. A separate records request follows or has already been served.
Signed electronically on January 1, 1970,
