During the course of this investigation, this Department has taken statements from staff and clients, reviewed documents, made site visits and inspected areas of the facility germane to this investigation. The following determinations are made: A client, C1, had knowledge of the combination for the padlock that secures the facility's kitchen; How C1 learned the combination is not known; Kitchen staff suspect unknown person(s) may have entered the kitchen around the time that the combination was breached; Sharp knives and hazardous materials are secured in a room inside the kitchen with a separate lock that has not been breached; Staff(S1) denies providing C1 with the combination; Client (C1) denies learning the combination from S1.
