32.17 	next of kin, or other parent of the deceased individual's children to review the recordings 
32.18 	would interfere with the agency conducting a thorough investigation. If the chief law 
32.19 	enforcement officer denies a request under this provision, the agency's policy must require 
32.20 	the chief law enforcement officer to issue a prompt, written denial and provide notice to

32.26 	after the incident; and
