The DPS Reports, a selection of which are published weekly on A2 and in full at peppedine-graphic.com, were incomplete for three issues of the Graphic published on Sept. 4, Sept. 11 and Sept. 18.
The Department of Public Safety in collaboration with Integrated Marketing and Communications normally provides the DPS activity log weekly to the Graphic.
However, for three weeks the Graphic didn’t receive the complete reports. A selection of the missing reports are printed below, and they will be published in full online.
IMC did not pass on the reports from DPS “due to an accidental error in reporting,” according to Associate Vice President for IMC Matthew Midura.
“The error has been swiftly resolved, and IMC has shared complete reports dating back to the beginning of the year,” Midura wrote in an email.
Midura wrote that IMC apologizes for the error and understands “the importance of the activity logs in keeping the community informed.”
