It appeared that an unknown public safety employee or volunteer had cooked a hamburger or similar substance and failed to wash their food preparation devices.

Investigation revealed that officer Kim Richardson had washed dishes in the sink at about 0945 to 1000 hours today, indicating that the timeframe of the violation was between 1000 and 1300 hours.

I washed the food preparation equipment and left the kitchen in a clean fashion at 1400 hours.

No officers had used the kitchen during those hours, so the investigation must expand outside the scope of the A/B shift from Team A.

Incident will be forwarded to MDH and OSHA for blatant failure to maintain a neat and tidy kitchen.
