Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 et seq., I request copies of records concerning the arrest that occurred on October 5, 2026, at or immediately adjacent to the University of Connecticut School of Law, 55 Elizabeth Street, Hartford, Connecticut.
During the incident, an individual was physically taken to the ground and a conducted electrical weapon/Taser was reportedly deployed. I understand that officers from the West Hartford Police Department may have been involved, although I do not presently know the identity of the arrested individual, the case number, or every law enforcement agency involved.
I request:
1. All body-worn camera, dashboard-camera, or other audiovisual recordings made by UConn Police officers who responded to, participated in, witnessed, or were present for the incident, from the initial response through the conclusion of on-scene activity;
2. All surveillance-camera footage maintained by UConn depicting the incident or the events immediately preceding or following it, including exterior and interior cameras on or adjacent to the Law School campus;
3. All UConn Police incident reports, supplemental reports, use-of-force reports, narratives, photographs, videos, or other records relating to the incident;
4. All CAD records, dispatch records, radio communications, calls for service, and other communications relating to the incident, including records reflecting requests for assistance from or communications with the West Hartford Police Department, Hartford Police Department, or any other law enforcement agency;
5. Records identifying the law enforcement agencies and officers that responded to or participated in the incident;
6. Any 911 calls or other calls or communications received by UConn concerning the events leading to the arrest;
7. Any records, including emails, text messages, reports, or notifications, concerning the arrest or the use of force generated by UConn Police, UConn Law, or University administration on October 5, 2026; and
8. Any photographs, video recordings, or other evidence concerning the incident that UConn provided to, received from, or preserved at the request of another law enforcement agency.
To the extent any UConn Police body-worn or dashboard camera footage depicts an alleged use of force, I also request disclosure pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 29-6d(f).
