The investigative files of the internal affairs unit of a city police department were exempt from public inspection as preliminary under subsections (1)(g) and (h) of this section; this exemption did not extend to the complaints against a police officer which initially spawned the investigations. The public upon request had a right to know what complaints had been made and the final action taken by the chief thereupon. Louisville v. Courier-Journal & Louisville Times Co., 637 S.W.2d 658, 1982 Ky. App. LEXIS 232 (Ky. Ct. App. 1982).
