    Does the Department of Corrections rely on unsigned police job sheets or unverified complaint summaries when making decisions to seek recall of a paroled offender?

Answer

This information requested by the member is not centrally located and cannot be obtained without significant manual collation and review of numerous documents. I am not prepared to request that of my officials for the purposes of responding to this question. This is also my response to WPQ 24990 (2026).
