Need help DPS Absent
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 10:10 pm
Hello all this is my second post both in one night go figure.
I have been calling DPS and emailing them for some time now and have only gotten one response. I have a legal issue and I do not want to go into the details of the case. Basically I have an investigator from the county attorney's office who is asking me for records from a class I taught in December. Now I know that they have to subpoena DPS for the records. But they are also asking me for a written statement.
Now I have called and emailed DPS asking for guidance in the case. The only time I was able to get a reply was from the Sgt. who was in charge at the time of my instructor class. The Sgt. returned my emails and called me and said that he would have someone call me. But that never happened. Recently I sent another email and got a reply stating that they have not received any thing from me and that this is the first time they have heard of the case.
So I sent a long detailed email to them with the information on the case. Again no reply to this and no indication that they received it. Now the county attorney investigator is asking again for a statement. So the question is do I give a written statement. Now I am a retired Peace Officer and I know what written statements are for and I know that the next step is I will have to testify at the trial if it gets that far.
Now if I give a written statement it will basically be all the information that they want from the requested records in this case and I will not lie or break the law if I am subpoenaed. So you would think that an agency that is concerned about its licensing instructors and following the laws would be in touch and give some guidance to me but they are absent. So in frustration what do all of you guys think is the best course of action.
