Subject
Supplemental Filing — Petition for Public Records Order, Robert Samuel White / Oregon State Police (PR27478; CAD SP26097765)
To the Public Records Advocate / Attorney General's Office:

I filed a Petition for Public Records Order in this matter on July 22, 2026. I write to supplement the record with one document received today.

Section III of the petition addresses the comment entered in OSP CAD event SP26097765 at 08:41:32 on March 24, 2026, before the responding unit departed: "FOR THE FOREST SERVICE // FOLLOWUP INTERVIEW W/ ROBERT WHITE 04-11-1977." Relief item 6 asks the Department to produce the communication by which the information in that event was conveyed to the dispatcher who created it.

On July 23, 2026, [USFS District Ranger], District Ranger for the Central Coast Ranger District, Siuslaw National Forest, U.S. Forest Service, wrote to me regarding that comment. Her email states, in relevant part:

"Regarding the CAD entry stating, 'FOR THE FOREST SERVICE,' I am unsure why that wording appears, as the Forest Service did not initiate the interview. The agency's involvement was limited to assisting OSP by providing access and guiding them to the Siltcoos Work Center. This is standard practice, as OSP does not have keys to Forest Service gates, work centers, or other secured facilities. Our law enforcement officer accompanied them solely to facilitate entry and ensure they reached the correct location."

The full email is attached as Exhibit 26 (attached below).

I offer this without argument and ask nothing further of the Attorney General beyond the relief already requested. The relevance is limited and factual: the federal agency named in the Department's own record has stated in writing that it did not initiate the event, and has described the extent of its involvement as providing access. The question of how that characterization came to be entered in the Department's dispatch record, and by whom, remains among the categories the petition asks the Department to address.

Respectfully,
Robert Samuel White
