Tulsa Sheriff: We May Have Destroyed Bates’ Certifications
‘Last year we went to the legislature and got a law passed that allows us to destroy records’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
REPORTER: "Sheriff, is it fair to say that your office did a poor job of keeping records regarding Bates' training?
GLANZ: "Yeah, I'm not sure how to answer that. We keep records, and those are placed in his personnel file. I think he keeps his own personal records and he's provided a lot of them to the press."
REPORTER: "But was it a poor job on the part of your office to not have all the records?"
GLANZ: "It could have been. Last year we went to the legislature and got a law passed that allows us to destroy records after five years, and so a lot of those older records were destroyed."
REPORTER: "For the record, as far as you know, were any of his training records falsified?"
GLANZ: "No, sir, not that I'm aware of."
