Field notes
The page organizes its reporting around an agency table, source-linked exhibits, and a running tally of records requests. It says 8 of 21 agencies had produced records or answers, with 31 files published. One exhibit follows a River Hills Axon in-car reader trial under an agreement accepted April 9, 2026, and notes that the department has none now.
