OIPM Frequently Asked Questions on the Investigation of the Officer-Involved Death of Corey RuizProvenance: Government record

Released August 4, 2026

The oversight office's own account of who does what after a Madison police killing: what the Division of Criminal Investigation collects, what the District Attorney alone decides, and what OIPM may do under Madison General Ordinance 5.19, including its subpoena power and its claimed right of unfettered access to MPD records. It states that MPD has shared no evidence in this case and that no law prevents it from doing so.

Notes

Published by the office as a web page only; there is no PDF of the FAQ on the City's site. This copy is a capture of cityofmadison.com/independent-police-monitor/blog/2026-08-04/oipm-frequently-asked-questions-on-investigation-of taken 2026-09-01, rendered to PDF with every accordion section expanded so the answers are in the text layer and not only in the page markup. The captured HTML is kept beside the source PDF. Publication date 2026-08-04 is the date the office posted it; the PDF's own creation date is the capture date. The FAQ ends on page 6; page 7 is a blank page-break artifact of the print render, carries no text, image or drawing, and is published blank rather than sent to OCR that would find nothing.
