"I had already expected that I would not receive the booking photos but I do appreciate that a policy further clarifying the criteria is being developed by HCSO.".

 

HCSO responded to my two remaining requests for booking photos. I had already expected that I would not receive the booking photos but I do appreciate that a policy further clarifying the criteria is being developed by HCSO. 

I hope EPD is taking notes. Instead of passing the buck to HCSO like they did for my last request, they need to develop a policy once and for all and decide whether they want to issue their own booking photos or like every other agency have HCSO handle those requests. If EPD's response to the Houston vs Maricopa County ruling is to chicken out and have HCSO do extra work, then HCSO should get extra funds and a staff member to handle those additional requests. The County can work the funding out with the City of Eureka.
