Documents are exactly as the agency provided them; only the requester's personal contact information has been blacked out. All other redactions are the agency's, citing the GRAMA provisions noted on each document.
Filed — awaiting response. Requests in flight, published as filed so the asks are on the record before the answers arrive:
- Utah Valley University (#26-305, filed Aug 27, 2026). Asked for: UVU's communications with Turning Point USA about a proposed September 2026 memorial or anniversary event on campus, UVU's internal records of the decision to approve or decline it and why, and the record announcing the September 10, 2026 campus closure. So far: acknowledged the same day (the notice says the office is closed September 7 and September 10; the acknowledgment). On September 14 UVU said it was handling "a large number of records requests" and took up to 10 more business days. No records yet.
- Utah County Attorney's Office. Asked for: every "Notice of Records Restriction" the office sent out about the September 10, 2025 UVU shooting (including the one sent to the Washington County Sheriff's Office), the list of agencies that got one, any replies those agencies sent back under the notice's "notify our office immediately" instruction, and the record of who decided to send the notices and when. So far: no answer on the substance. The request was emailed August 7 and again August 24. Both times (August 10 and August 25) the office replied that the email address "is not regularly monitored" and asked that requests go through its online portal (the notice, with the full request text). Re-filing on the portal is the next step. (A copy of one of these notices, sent to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, came out in that office's own email release: see Volume 4 of the WCSO production.)
- Utah Valley University (#26-315, #26-316, #26-317, #26-318; filed Sep 3, 2026 by email to the GRAMA officer, acknowledged Sep 4) — the work on the courtyard, the fountain, and its pump station after the shooting. #26-318 (Sep 10 – Oct 31, 2025): work orders for draining, cleaning, or scraping the fountain basin, records of where the water and debris went, any object found in the basin, the cleanup vendor’s invoice, and who directed the work (the acknowledgment). #26-317 (Sep 10–19, 2025): the messages and photographs of the two Facilities officials named in UVU’s own earlier release (Bates UVU 25-326, State Records Committee case 2026-004), with the search words spelled out (the acknowledgment). #26-316 (Sep 10–16, 2025): which Facilities workers were assigned to the site and their hours, and any exposure or injury report from the site (the acknowledgment). #26-315 (Sep 11–30, 2025): messages with the paving or cleanup contractor, site sign-in and access records, any state-agency staff on site, and the record of the scene being handed back to UVU (the acknowledgment). Filed after UVU answered request #26-212 (July 29) “no records” and pointed to the state Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM). Each acknowledgment quotes the request back in full. So far: on September 21 UVU took up to 10 more business days on all four, citing "a large number of records requests." No records yet.
Two requests are on hold behind a bill. The Office of the Governor of Utah has not refused these records, and has not said whether any exist. It will only start searching once its estimated fee is paid, and it says paying does not guarantee any records come back. Both bills were issued July 17, 2026 and were due August 3, 2026.
- $615 — police briefings, talking points, or summaries given to the Governor's office before he spoke publicly about the suspect's motive, September 11–16, 2025 (9 hours of staff time at $60, plus a $75 out-of-state fee · details and the bill)
- $351 — Governor's Office records on removing the medical tent and concreting the UVU courtyard, September 10 – October 15, 2025 (4.6 hours of staff time at $60, plus a $75 out-of-state fee · details and the bill)

Utah Department of Public Safety, State Bureau of Investigation · six requests · filed Aug 4 – Aug 25, 2026 · all denied Sep 14, 2026 (evening, Mountain time) · 13 denial emails · nothing released
What we asked for: six specific records from the investigation of the September 10, 2025 shooting at Utah Valley University. P014181 (Aug 4): the evidence records for the backpack, jacket, and gloves picked up near the Fulton Library bus stops; any message from the State Bureau of Investigation to the FBI lab about whether those items were connected to the case or whether testing should stop; any finding about who owned them; and, if they were given back, to whom and when. P014531 (Aug 7): any report reconstructing the shot's path or origin, and any sound analysis of recordings of the shot — or written confirmation that none exists. P014498 (Aug 7) and P015658 (Aug 24, re-filed): the police report of the interview with the homeowners whose Nest doorbell camera recorded a vehicle parked on their street overnight September 10–11, 2025 (names could be blacked out). P014497 (Aug 7) and P015659 (Aug 25, re-filed): not the doorbell video itself, but the records of how police got it, the file details (resolution, length, timestamps), and any editing or re-encoding before the version played in court.
What we got: a denial of all six, and no records. DPS sent the denials one after another on the evening of September 14, 2026. Each request drew two emails. The first is a letter signed by Records Manager Tina Rodriguez that says the records are exempt "for the following reasons:" and then lists none. The second gives the reason, word for word the same for all six: the records "have been classified as private and protected pursuant to Utah Code Ann.§§ 63G-2-305(10)" (the rule for records whose release could interfere with an investigation or a fair trial), because the matter "is still under active investigation" and release "could reasonably be expected to interfere with investigations and enforcement proceedings, as well as the prosecution of the subject, and would create a risk of depriving the subject of a fair trial or impartial hearing." P014531 got the second email twice. The same wording was used for the two requests that asked only for processing records about the doorbell video (P014497, P015659), not the video.
Appeal: each notice says the decision can be appealed within 30 days to DPS Commissioner Beau Mason. Each file below holds the DPS acknowledgment, which quotes the request in full, followed by the denial emails.
P014181 — bus-stop items
P014531 — shot path and sound analysis
P014498 — homeowner interview
P015658 — homeowner interview (re-filed)
P014497 — doorbell video processing
P015659 — doorbell video processing (re-filed)

Utah Valley University · request #26-242 · filed Jul 26, 2026 · extended Aug 10 · released Aug 14, 2026 · 74 documents in four volumes
What we asked for: copies of two sets of records UVU had already released to news outlets about UVU Police Chief Jeff Long and the September 10, 2025 shooting: (1) the roughly 113 pages given to the Daily Caller News Foundation, and (2) the 19 screenshots given to Blaze News. We also asked for the paper trail behind each: the outlet's request, UVU's decision letters, and any list of what was held back.
What we got: all of it, 74 documents. UVU took one extension on August 10 ("a large number of records requests") and released everything on August 14, 2026. UVU says the blacked-out parts inside the two earlier releases "were in the original documents when released"; the only new blackouts are personal-privacy redactions (§ 63G-2-302(2)(d), a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy) on the requests and letters. Volume 1 is the paper trail: the Daily Caller News Foundation's November 21, 2025 request for Chief Long's communications from September 1–30, 2025, with UVU's March 20 and March 27, 2026 decision letters (UVU #25-330); and Blaze Media's April 1, 2026 request for texts on the chief's department devices from September 3–10, 2025, with UVU's April 15, 2026 letter (UVU #26-83). Both letters say UVU held back some further records, for example for security and privacy reasons. Volumes 2 and 3 are the Daily Caller release: 50 documents, 112 pages, of Chief Long's September 2025 emails and Teams chats, in UVU's document-number order (0001–0076, then 0077–0112). Volume 4 is the Blaze release: 19 screenshots of the chief's text messages, September 3–11, 2025. Every document is bookmarked by its UVU document number.
Vol. 1 — requests and decision letters
Vol. 2 — DCNF release, docs 0001–0076
Vol. 3 — DCNF release, docs 0077–0112

Utah Valley University · request #26-253 · filed Aug 4, 2026 · answered Aug 18, 2026 · partly released, partly "no records"
What we asked for: for the September 10, 2025 Turning Point USA event at UVU, (1) any parking passes, vehicle placards, or parking credentials issued for the event, and (2) the lot-assignment or reserved-parking records showing which vehicles were allowed to park where — by organization, not by attendee. No attendee lists or student records.
What we got: one email chain, two pages. For part (1), UVU says a reasonable search found no records. For part (2), UVU released an August 25–27, 2025 email exchange, forwarded again on March 19, 2026. In it, UVU Parking offers three reserved stalls in lot L-1 (the employee lot southwest of the Browning Administration Building) for Wednesday, September 10, at a cost of $30.00, and then confirms: “We'll have the three stalls coned off in L1 on 9/10/2025.” The billing index number was supplied. Names, email addresses, and the billing index are blacked out by UVU under § 63G-2-305(11) and (12) (information whose release could endanger a person's safety, or the security of university property or systems).

City of Orem — Records Office · filed Aug 7, 2026 · receipt confirmed Aug 12 · denied Aug 19, 2026 · nothing released
What we asked for: (1) the license-plate camera reads (time, camera, plate, and vehicle photo) taken on September 10, 2025 between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. by Flock or similar cameras used by Orem Police along the roads between the UVU campus and Timpanogos Regional Hospital; (2) any alerts those reads set off; (3) the system's search log from September 10, 2025 onward, showing every search run against that day's data — who searched, for which agency (including any federal agency), when, and why; and (4) Orem's rule for how long this data is kept, and any order to preserve the September 10, 2025 data.
What we got: a denial of items 1–3 and a web link for item 4. City Recorder Teresa McKitrick wrote that "captured plate data is a protected record" under Utah Code § 41-6a-2004(1)(d)(i) (the state law limiting release of license-plate reader data) and § 63G-2-202. The attached denial form describes the withheld record as “Flock Camera for September 10, 2025 between 9 and 1 PM” and labels it “Captured Plate Data.” For item 4, the city said it follows the State retention schedule and sent a link to it. The reply does not say whether any preservation order was placed on the September 10 data.
Appeal: the form gives 30 days to appeal to City Manager Brenn Bybee.

Provo City — Recorder's Office · filed Aug 7, 2026 · answered Aug 18, 2026 · 1 record released, rest "we do not have this record"
What we asked for: for Provo Municipal Airport on September 10, 2025: (1) the airfield operations log, daily operations report, or airport manager's log; (2) any record of a low approach, go-around, overflight complaint, or other unusual flight activity that day; (3) records of visiting aircraft, landings, fuel sales, or activity reported by the airport's service company; and (4) any messages between airport or city staff and any federal agency about that day's airport operations.
What we got: one record, and a denial form for the rest. The record is airfield inspection #2912, a routine night inspection logged at 5:35 a.m. that morning. Every item on it — pavement, markings, signs, lighting, navigation aids, fencing, wildlife — is marked “SAT” (satisfactory); the only note is “Bulbs changed 18” on runway lighting. In the city's internal emails, the airport operations staff member wrote that this was “the only document that meets the criteria.” The denial form lists all four items and checks the box “The agency does not have this record,” citing Utah Code § 63G-2-201(7) (an agency does not have to create a record to answer a request).
Appeal: the form gives 30 days to appeal to Mayor Marsha Judkins, through the Provo City Attorney's Office.

Washington County · requests filed Jul 16, re-sent Aug 4, follow-up Aug 11, 2026 · replies Aug 11, Aug 13, and Aug 24, 2026 · released
What we asked for: (1) the separation or severance agreement between Washington County and former Sheriff Nate Brooksby from about March 2026, including the money terms and any secrecy terms; and (2) the record of the outcome of any internal or outside investigation of him that was open or finished when he resigned. After the agreement came back, a follow-up asked for the records on the misconduct allegations the agreement mentions, the county statement the county had referred to, and the record approving and paying the $100,000.
What we got: the signed agreement and the records behind it. The agreement (signed March 28, 2026) says the county had “received allegations of misconduct,” which Brooksby denies; that he resigns effective March 27, 2026; that the county will pay him $100,000 within 14 days and “refrain from any further investigation into the allegations”; and that he may keep his county cell phone but may not enter secured county areas from March 30, 2026. His one-line irrevocable resignation letter is attached as Exhibit A. The agreement contains no confidentiality clause. On the investigation, the county attorney's office answered that “there was no internal or independent investigation done in this incident, therefore there are no records to provide.” The county later sent the anonymous letter the commissioners received, which it says “led to the separation” and describes the allegations, a redacted pay record showing the $100,000 lump-sum payment dated March 30, 2026, and the County Commission's public statement. That statement says the complainants did not want their concerns pursued if Brooksby resigned, and the county is “respecting their wishes.”

Orem Police Department — Records · filed Jul 13–15, 2026, re-filed Aug 2 and Aug 4 · denied Jul 15, Jul 21 (twice), and Aug 6, 2026 · appeal filed Jul 21 · nothing released
What we asked for: the deployment records for any City of Orem police dog sent to the Utah Valley University response on September 10–11, 2025 — the handler logs showing each dog, what it was trained for, what it was asked to do, and what happened.
What we got: no records, only denials. On July 15 the city turned the request down because it lacked the requester's full address and phone number and was “a duplicate request” (the request had been sent twice by mistake). The next day a records specialist wrote that “anything related to September 10, 2025 cannot be released since it's an active investigation.” On July 21 the city issued two Notice of Denial forms, describing the withheld records as “K9 inquiry” and “K9 Deployed Inquiry,” citing Utah Code § 63G-2-305(10) (records whose release could interfere with an investigation or a fair trial) and “Active Case.” The city's emails say the Utah County Attorney's Office, as prosecutor, “has requested that these records be classified as Protected,” and point all requests to the State Bureau of Investigation. When the same request was filed again in August, the city denied it on August 6 as a duplicate and an open investigation, with a form describing the record as “K9 records, UVU response” and citing § 63G-2-305(10) (“Active Investigation”) and § 63G-2-204 (“Lack of Requester information (full address)”).
Appeal: an appeal of the July 21 denials was sent to City Manager Brenn Bybee on July 21, 2026. No decision on it appears in the mail received so far.

Orem Police Department — Records · filed Aug 4, 2026 · denied Aug 6, 2026 · nothing released
What we asked for: Orem Police dispatch logs and any incident reports about the lockdown of, or police response to, Timpanogos Regional Hospital (or any other Orem-area hospital) on September 10, 2025, tied to reports of someone searching for Charlie Kirk — including why the lockdown happened, which agency asked for it, and any record identifying the person whose behavior set it off.
What we got: a denial and no records. The city's email says the Utah County Attorney's Office, as prosecutor, “has requested that these records be classified as Protected” under Utah Code § 63G-2-305(10) (records whose release could interfere with an investigation or a fair trial), and points all requests to the State Bureau of Investigation. The attached Notice of Denial form describes the record as “Dispatch, Incident Records, Hospital Lockdown” and gives three reasons: § 63G-2-305(10) (“Active Investigation”), § 63G-2-304(1) (“Controlled Record”), and § 63G-2-204 (“Lack of Requester Information (full address)”).
Appeal: the form gives 30 days to appeal to City Manager Brenn Bybee.

Office of the Governor of Utah · request 260716AB1 · filed Jul 16, 2026 · billed Jul 17, 2026 · unpaid, nothing released
What we asked for: any Governor's Office records from September 10 – October 15, 2025 — emails, orders, meeting notes, or coordination with UVU, the FBI, or the Utah Department of Public Safety — about removing the medical tent and digging up, resurfacing, or concreting the UVU courtyard where the September 10, 2025 shooting happened. The request notes that the excavation contractor has said publicly the work was ordered by the FBI and the Governor, and asks for written confirmation if no such records exist.
What we got: a bill, no records, and no statement on whether any records exist. On July 17, 2026 the office said it will not start searching until $351.00 is paid: 4.6 hours of estimated staff time at $60 an hour ($276.00) plus a $75.00 out-of-state filing fee (invoice GO‑071726‑0087, due August 3, 2026). The office's email adds that paying "does not entitle you to access any records," and that the final cost may differ from the estimate.
Fee waiver: refused Jul 17, 2026 (faster answer also refused); appeal to the Chief of Staff turned down Aug 5, 2026 as final.

What we asked for: for September 11–16, 2025, the briefing documents, talking points, or written summaries that any law-enforcement agency gave the Governor or his communications staff before the Governor's public statements about the suspect's motive, ideology, or roommate — plus a record showing which agency provided each one and when. The request is for the copies held by the Governor's Office, not police investigation files.
What we got: a bill, no records, and no statement on whether any records exist. On July 17, 2026 the office said it will not start searching until $615.00 is paid: 9.0 hours of estimated staff time at $60 an hour ($540.00) plus a $75.00 out-of-state filing fee (invoice GO‑071726‑0088, due August 3, 2026).

Washington County Sheriff's Office — Records · asked Jul 9, 2026 · fee set Jul 29 · fee paid Aug 1 · delivered Aug 3, 2026 · 101 documents, 329 pages
What we asked for: as part of the July 9, 2026 request about Tyler Robinson's surrender at the Sheriff's Office (see the office's reply), all correspondence about any earlier records request for the surrender video: the requests, the answers, and any internal discussion. The office met this part by searching its email from after September 10, 2025 for messages containing both “Tyler Robinson” and “video,” leaving out email to or from the county attorney's office.
What we got: the full set, 101 documents, after paying the $65.22 fee set in the July 29, 2026 fee letter (plus a $2.00 card charge). They are grouped here into six bookmarked volumes, exactly as provided. Volumes 1–2: other people's records requests for the surrender video and the office's replies, including requests from Fox News, Scripps News, Court TV, Judicial Watch, and independent journalists. Volume 3: records appeals, including the scheduling and mediation notices in State Records Committee appeal #2025-150 (Scripps News v. Washington County). Volume 4: office correspondence, tips, and media questions. It includes a November 25, 2025 reply from Barry Golding of the Sheriff's Office: “No videos are missing; all of our video footage relative to the surrender of Tyler Robinson has been sent to the prosecuting agency, the Utah County Attorney's Office.” It also includes the July 16, 2026 internal email that set up the search for this release and left out email to or from the county attorney's office, and a Utah County Attorney's Office “Notice of Records Restriction” asking the office to withhold all records about the shooting. Volume 5: our own requests as the office holds them (contact details blacked out). Volume 6: newsletters and news-digest emails that happened to match the search words. Blackouts marked in the files are the Sheriff's Office's, citing §§ 63G-2-302(2)(d) and 63G-2-305(51) (personal privacy, and private home addresses and phone numbers).

Utah Valley University · request #26-221 · filed Jul 16, 2026 · released Jul 31, 2026 · 8 pages, partly "no records"
What we asked for: for the September 10, 2025 Turning Point USA event at UVU: (1) the event agreement, facility-use contract, and planning messages between UVU event staff and Turning Point USA's event staff; (2) any credential, access, or staff list of Turning Point USA people on campus to set up that morning; and (3) the list of vendors and contractors for the event, including audio/visual. No attendee lists or student records.
What we got: eight pages. The event confirmation (“Turning Point Club – The American Comeback,” Student Center courtyard, event 9 a.m.–4 p.m., space reserved 7 a.m.–6 p.m., expected attendance 200; it lists Major Event Assessment Committee review, a commercial-filming procedure, Facilities Grounds, and AVSE Services as a service provider). And a text-message thread between UVU Event Services and the event coordinator running to September 9, 2025. The thread shows the courtyard fountain was confirmed off “all day” for the event, a filming request was filled out, amplified sound was approved in writing, a Major Event Assessment Committee meeting took place, and campus police were brought in before the event. For the facility-use contract, the staff/credential list, and the vendor list, UVU says a reasonable search found no records. Names and contact details are blacked out by UVU under § 63G-2-305(11) and (12) (information whose release could endanger a person's safety, or the security of university property or systems), and student information under FERPA, the federal student-privacy law.

Washington County Sheriff's Office — Records · part of the Jul 9, 2026 request · letter dated Jul 29, 2026 · fee paid Aug 1 · records delivered Aug 3
What we asked for: part (4) of the July 9, 2026 request about Tyler Robinson's surrender: all correspondence about earlier records requests for the surrender video. The office searched for emails containing both “Tyler Robinson” and “video.” After its July 22 reply warned there would be a fee, we told the office on July 25 to go ahead.
What we got: this letter, granting the request in part. The public parts of the emails would be released. Held back: personal details (birth dates, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, names) of private people who had made requests, under § 63G-2-302(2)(d) and § 63G-2-305(51) (personal privacy, and private home addresses and phone numbers), and all emails to and from the office's attorney, as attorney-client privileged. The fee was $65.22: the work took 3½ hours, rounded down to 3 hours, at $21.74 an hour (the pay of the lowest-paid employee able to do it). Paying by card added $2.00. The letter gives 30 days to appeal the withheld parts to Sheriff Barry Golding. The office's payment-form page has been left out of this copy. The emails released under this letter are published above as the six-volume email release.

Washington County Sheriff's Office — Records · filed Jul 9, 2026 (sent again Jul 12) · answered Jul 22, 2026 · video gone; emails released later for a fee
What we asked for: (1) all video from the lobby, intake, sally-port, or booking cameras at the Sheriff's Office in Hurricane, Utah, from 8:00 p.m. September 11 to 5:00 a.m. September 12, 2025 — the night Tyler Robinson turned himself in; (2) the rule for how long that video is kept; (3) any record of the video being deleted, recorded over, or not kept, including when, by whom, and any order to preserve it; and (4) all correspondence about earlier records requests for this video.
What we got: a letter, no video. On the video, it says: "There is no video of the lobby or hallways of the Patrol Building when Robinson turned himself in. The video was not clipped and exported, therefore it was deleted between 14-30 days after it was recorded. He was never at Purgatory Correctional Facility." On the keeping rule: the county has no video-retention schedule of its own and follows the Utah State Retention Schedule GRS-2021 (attached). On the deletion: "There are no records documenting the deletion, overwriting, or non retention of the video." On the earlier requests: emails with the words “Tyler Robinson and Video” would need blacking out of private details before release. Those emails were later released: see the fee letter and the email release. For the office's November 25, 2025 statement that “No videos are missing,” see Volume 4 of that release. The letter estimated that searching and blacking out those emails would take more than 4 hours; the release that followed came to 101 documents.
Fee waiver / faster processing: The July 22 letter denied the fee waiver for the emails because the search and redaction would take “significant use of staff time and resources,” estimating more than 4 hours of work and a cost over $25.
