The fact is, mac daddy probably won't be able to find much out unless there was an incident where the records become part of a court case. Still, he should press.

Press who? I realize that this is a more extreme example than most, but this is exactly what the general public does to these people all the time.
"We're concerned; we need answers! Let's get all the neighbours together and demand answers from......someone! Everyone!
Next thing you know, this person is demonized and marginalized by the neighbourhood and everyone knows their personal medical and police issues.
So frustrating. Just phone the god damn police, listen to what they're willing to divulge and provide any relevant info. That's how its supposed to work.
You don't trust the calgary police and health officials? Maybe move to another country, but ours are among the best in the world, so I doubt you're going to do much better.
