The city released about 20 minutes of police bodycam video as well as police and fire reports, incoming calls to the Providence Police Department and Brown University police and other material.

"This was a difficult process to both maintain our commitment to transparency, to respond to requests from the media and the public's right to know exactly what happened, but also balancing what we know are potential, really serious downside effects of releasing some of this information," said Providence Mayor Brett Smiley.
