MADISON, Wis. — Madison Independent Police Monitor Aeiramique Glass subpoenaed the Madison Police Department on Monday, saying she was denied information provided to the Wisconsin Justice Department’s Division of Criminal Investigation for its own independent investigation.

“I requested dashcam video along with any other evidence that was supplied to the Department of Justice’s DCI as well as internal communications and transcripts. The things I knew were available immediately, I requested those things and I was denied,” Glass said.

Last Wednesday, Madison police requested the DCI take over the investigation into the deadly officer-involved shooting of Corey Ruiz at the intersection of Baldwin Street and Williamson Street. State law requires an independent investigation of officer-involved critical incidents in order to prevent the agency that employs the involved officers from investigating itself.

“Fundamentally, in any type of investigation we’re conducting, the goal is to ensure that we are getting information that is as complete and thorough as possible and that we can provide that information to the DA so the DA can make an appropriate charging decision,” Attorney General Josh Kaul said.

But Glass said it’s just as important for her office to receive the same information as the DCI within the same time frame.

“We actually provide contextual analysis, we also provide a real kind of framework of what actually took place from beginning to end, as well as we’re able to talk to community because we are a trusted community agency,” Glass said.

Glass said those reasons, and the fact she plans to make a recommendation to the DA about whether charges should be filed against the involved officer, make her investigation different.

But Glass has come under criticism for her participation in a march from the scene to the Wisconsin State Capitol last Wednesday. Protesters involved in that march called for the arrest of the involved officer, despite the investigation not being over. Glass’ participation has led some to question how independent her office actually is.

Glass denied that interpretation of her participation, saying she was there as part of her job.

“Anytime a life is lost, I understand the impact of that in a community, and I do rapid response. I do community safety, I do violence intervention and prevention,” Glass said.
