Is the public relations office of Oregon State Police a back channel for agencies to dump their problems?
I asked Oregon State Police how many times since January 1, 2023 its press office has ordered its detectives to investigate a member of the public, and I am asking the 164 state agencies on Oregon’s own list what each has written to that press office about a member of the public.

Can the State of Oregon search its own email, and does it?
I asked the three offices that hold the answer: the Department of Administrative Services, which runs every executive branch mailbox on one system and bought the tool to search it; the Department of Justice, which writes the manual every records officer works from; and the Secretary of State, whose Archivist sets the rules for keeping email and sells a system that finds it in seconds.
