Link to statements and letters

First and foremost, thanks to everyone who volunteered their energy and time to making GLOW 2006 the incredible event that it is. Thanks also to all those who attended and participated.

However, events transpired during the second night of GLOW that are being addressed as follows.

The Sheriffs Office of Pinal County has called a public forum (click here to see photos from the forum held September 14) to allow people to air grievances in response to the unprofessional and aggressive behavior of the officer's at the harmonious GLOW art gathering on Saturday evening. It has been assured that their intention is to hear from the community, admit their wrongdoing and to apologize to the citizens. We are in agreement that GLOW will continue in the future with full support of the authorities. We want to work together to achieve a positive outcome for the event and the community. There has been assurance the incident will be fully investigated and that internal actions be taken. I believe it is important that the truth be told. Sheriff Chris Vasquez will be in attendance. Please come share your experiences and read the statements regarding the events that transpired.

Call for information

Pinal County Sheriff Chris Vasquez has ordered a formal administrative investigation (Internal Affairs) into this matter. Case number P.S. 2006-077 has been generated. Myself and Sergeant Phil LeBlanc, of the PCSO Professional Standards Unit, have been assigned to investigate allegations of misconduct and policy violations by PCSO staff members.
 
With this in mind, we are making every attempt to ascertain as much first-hand knowledge as possible from offended parties and/or witnesses of actions at the Glow festival on Saturday, September 9, 2006.  We are especially interested in copies of photographs or video of PCSO staff members on scene.
