TRENTADUE, Plaintiff, DECLARATION OF vs. DON BROWNING FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICE Case No.: 2:08ev788 CW OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY, 1 Judge Clark Waddoups and UNITED STATES CENTRAL Chief Magistrate Samuel Alba INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, Defendants. I. I am currently retired from the Oklahoma City Police Department. However, during the time period of I990 until after the bombing ofthe Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma I was a member ofthe Oklahoma City Police Department. 2. During the early 199O's, was part ofthe Department's "Solo Squad." Part of my duties as a patrol officer was to provide security for the President and Vice President ofthe United States of America, and others under the protection ofthe United States Secret Service, if and when they visited Oklahoma City. My specific duties involved protecting the "motorcade" carrying these federal officials. 3. ln carrying out these duties, worked with the Secret Service, which had its offices in the Murrah Federal Building. l, in tact, received briefings and training from the Secret Service with respect to providing security for those motorcades and federal officials. 4. After that training, we were usually allowed a courtesy tour of the facilities which would involved a review of the surveillance cameras at Murrah Federal Building, including the cameras mounted on the exterior ofthe Building, This walk through was conducted by a Secret Service Agent and included a visit to the offices of Federal Protective Services, which I understood to be responsible for providing law enforcement and security services to the Murrah Federal Building. 5. The offices the Federal Protective Services were located in United States Courthouse. While in the offices of the Federal Protective Services, I was shown the television cameras monitoring the entrances to the Murrah Federal Building and the videotape decks on which the images from those cameras were recorded. Those cameras 2 showed, in real time, the entrances to the Murrah Building as well as NW 5th Street, which the Building faced. 6. On April 19, 1995, I was part ofthe Oklahoma City Police Department's Unit." Shortly after the bomb exploded that day destroying the Murrah Federal Building, my dog "Gunny" and I were on scene assisting in the location and rescue of people trapped by the debris from the blast, 7. While assisting in the rescue of a woman trapped in the rubble, "Gunny and I were ordered out of Building by an FBI agent. The other non-federal rescuers were also ordered to leave the Building with me, which I thought was strange given the carnage and need to move quickly in hopes of locating and hopefully saving more victims trapped by the blast. 8. That same morning, I observed men wearing jackets with printed on the back removing the surveillance video cameras from the exterior ofthe Murrah Federal Building. I thought this was part of the FBI's evidence gathering or "chain of custody" procedures since those exterior cameras would have shown and recorded delivery of the bomb in a Ryder truck that morning as Well as the person or persons who exited that truck. 9. I knew from my training and experience as a police officer that an investigation of the bombing and prosecution of those involved would require not only preserving the videotapes ofthe event but also require preserving the cameras and tape 3 decks by which thou videotapes were made. did think it odd that dae FBl's remnval of those cameras was taking place while many people were still trapped alive in the mbble of the Muuah Fedesal Building and so many of us were working desperateiy to End ihenz. I declare afpezjury that (he information stated above is me and cones! to the best of my knowledge. EXECUTED on ihis day UfF8bIll8!`y, 1610 in Qklahnma City, 0kia.hmna_ Dun Browning dDn&1iq@l 4
