GoKawiilEugene Police Demand $2.5 Million to Fulfill Records Request on Officer Justin Peckels
The Eugene, Oregon Police Department told local outlet Double Sided Media it would cost roughly $2.48 million and take more than 44,800 staff hours to process a public records request about officer Justin Peckels, who has faced misconduct complaints including punching a resident during a traffic stop. A separate request about former officer Eric Klinko drew a $195,869.52 estimate, bringing the combined total for both requests to nearly $2.7 million. The department said work would resume once payment is received.
