From Deerfield Beach-

| Good evening Howie,
Though I understand your situation, we have adhered to this policy regardless of who the requester is. It is better to treat everyone the same and not show favoritism when it comes to who does or does not pay for labor or materials. Therefore, I will have to decline and hope that you understand. If you prefer not to pay any fees, we can re-review your request and advise what charges would ensue and what is complimentary. If you’d like to proceed, please advise in what manner.

I do not have to come and pay for each and every request, that is also punitive.Even with what is in the statute and the ordinance, someone down there has the power to waive fees and or reduce Mayor, Burgess or Andy Mauroidis. I cite my dealings with the State of Florida Department of Health, records are/were voluminous and they charged $0. Thanks, Howie — Original Message ——– Hello,
Thank you for the clarification; you will be notified once the request is ready. Regarding the fees, the City does not establish, nor set the fees, as they are based on Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, Section 119.07, see below link.
Furthermore, June 2, 2015, the City adopted Ordinance 2015/019 stating that costs associated with extensive research (labor) and copying must be paid for in advance, see attached.
Should you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you,

From BSO-

| The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office received a request from the Broward Sheriff’s Office for assistance with an investigation. PBSO responded with the Behavior Services Unit as BSO met with a male juvenile. During the interview, Behavioral specialists made the determination to take the necessary actions. No arrest was effected.
Background on PBSO The Behavioral Services Unit:
Behavioral Services Unit (BSU) is a specialized unit consisting of mental health therapists and specially trained law enforcement deputies who handle high risk and potentially dangerous individuals who have or may have a mental illness or may be in some level of high risk psychological distress.
BSU can be requested to respond to psychiatric emergencies by communications, supervisors, deputies and other investigative units to assist with the assessment, advocacy and monitoring of mentally ill persons who pose a risk to themselves or public safety. BSU can assist CIT deputies in the field with information and resources to help facilitate most situations.

Hello Gina, You can not confirm that the shooters brother was detained at BSO ‘s behest and held under the Baker Act? And when? I understand the statute and I am not trying to be difficult. I have read what BSO is putting out and follow your social media. Seems as it is now dated that this should appear somewhere in a public record. ABC News is a very credible source their story posted is not factual? I understand the Baker Act was done in Palm Beach County , but at the direction of BSO. Thanks, Howie Levy ——– Original Message ——– Good evening,
I am providing a link to the spreadsheet we provided to media regarding calls specifically involving the shooter. https://app.box.com/s/m0jzfwsuriv9yq9qtrjp9ztxxz1j0pjj
Our spreadsheet identifies 18 calls involving the shooter, which is the focus of our investigation. There are two calls listed, which did not specifically state which of the brothers was involved, so they were also included. There are three identified as involving the shooter’s brother instead. It is possible that investigators had a question about these at some point and that’s why those appear on the list.
There are other calls for service that are not related to the shooter. The investigation focuses on the shooter and his actions. Those are the 18 calls outlined in the spreadsheet.
The following public records related to the shooting have also been released and are available on our website, sheriff.org: Active Shooter at Stoneman Douglas High School, Published Feb. 14 Names of Murdered Victims in Stoneman Douglas Shooting, Published Feb. 15 Stoneman Douglas Shooting Preliminary Timeline of Events, Originally published Feb. 15; updated Feb. 21 Probable Cause for Nikolas Cruz, Published Feb. 15 15-Year-Old Arrested After Making Online Threat, Published Feb. 18 CAD Calls, Published Feb. 20 Sixth-Grader Arrested After Making Online Threat, Published Feb. 20 Body worn camera and surveillance videos are exempt per the following Florida State Statutes: FSS 119.071(2)(c)1 – Active criminal investigation FSS 119.071(3)(a) – Security system plan Hope this clarifies both of the documents for you. If you have additional questions, let me know.
This is an active and ongoing investigation. No additional details are being released at this time per Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c)1. All updated information that has been released to the public is online at sheriff.org. Follow us on twitter @browardsheriff for regular updates and press conference information.
