Notice of Brady Disclosure Record Status for Dakota Cremeans

At this time, there are no records of previously disclosed Brady material available for Dakota Cremeans. This should not be interpreted as a conclusive determination regarding Dakota Cremeans’s conduct, credibility, professional history, or performance. The presence of a profile on this platform is non-punitive and should not, by itself, be understood as an allegation, finding, or adverse determination.

The absence of disclosed material is also affected by institutional limitations. South Bend Police Department is not in compliance with its Brady disclosure obligations, and Indiana does not maintain a functioning system for the tracking, verification, and disclosure of Brady-related information.

For a more complete assessment of Dakota Cremeans’s record, inquiries should be directed to South Bend Police Department, any prior employers, relevant prosecuting agencies, and other official custodians of personnel, disciplinary, and Brady disclosure records. Contact information is provided below.

Indiana Access to Public Records Act

§5-14-3-1 et seq.

The Indiana Access to Public Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels. Public records are defined as essentially any information created, maintained or filed by government agencies. Exemptions include trade secrets, confidential information received upon request, academic research, licensing information, medical records, anything declared exempt by the Supreme Court, autopsy photos or videos, social security numbers, law enforcement investigations, attorney information, personal files of employees, names of charitable donors, security measures for telecommunications, schools, and general infrastructure, correctional officer information, complaint information within law enforcement agencies, contact information for utility employees, or labor negotiations.

Any person can request public records in Indiana and no request may be refused due to a lack of statement of purpose. Record cannot be used for commercial purposes except if it is news publications, academic research, or non-profit organization activities that are using the information. The Indiana statute allows for seven days to acknowledge Indiana Access to Public Records Act requests if the request is mailed or sent by facsimilie or email. "If a requestor is physically present in the office of the public agency or makes a request by telephone or requests enhanced access to a document, the public agency must respond to the request within 24 hours after any employee of the agency receives the request." (From Indiana's Public Law Access Handbook)
