We keep looking for tell tale signs to see whether the Transformator is having an impact on the OCSD's much maligned organizational culture.  Simple baby-steps will do, thank you very much.

Sadly, other than the initial media accessibility, seems like we are back to the same old, same old.

Repeated requests for specific information on the Sheriff's 120-Day Plan, Chief Scott's departmental Audit and a Coto de Caza stabbing have been met with the obligatory "I am checking" by  the OCSD's Damon Micalizzi

On the Coto de Caza stabbing for instance, we are asking for a simple status on a 60-day old incident, understanding that as someone has said "spoiled Coto kids have simply lawyered up and  uncooperative"

We understand any investigation needs to be thorough and can be time-consuming.  And while we do not expect the department to divulge information which could compromise the case, we expect some sort of transparency - something Sheriff Hutchens promised - yet not delivered in this and other cases.

Simple questions we are asking for instance are:
·    What is the status of the investigation?
·    Is the investigation ongoing?
·    What is the relative position of this investigation in the grand scheme of things in terms of importance?
·    Have the spoiled kids indeed lawyred up?

Might this be too much to ask?

If so, it is understandable that the more difficult questions are simply being ignored.
