Notes/clarifications:
- The original radio transcriptions contained some garbled plate/plate‑spellings and garbled names; the report focuses on the most likely, corroborated facts (locations, unit actions, scene outcomes). Routine radio checks, administrative items, and non‑actionable traffic were omitted. If you want a time‑ordered log (complete timeline) or copies of case numbers for a specific incident, say which incident and I’ll extract those entries and case numbers.
