Freedom of Information Requests regarding drownings at Michigan Public Swimming Pools.

To find out what really happened in our fatal drowning investigations, information is ordered through the Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The City of Livonia censored some of the requested documents such as press releases in an apparent attempt to slow down our investigation, therefore additional FOIA requests were needed to obtain the requested documents.

Also on this page is the initial FOIA request dated May 9, 2001 to the School District of the City of Saginaw through Dr. Wilson Smith, the Principal of Saginaw High School. A follow up FOIA request was made on June 11, 2001 to the School District of the City of Saginaw, Office of the Superintendent.
