The page text asserts that ''This article includes content from the website of the State of Rhode Island, which is available for re-use in accordance with the terms of the [https://www.ri.gov/policies/copyright/ Copyright Policy of the website].'' The linked copyright page is confusing but does not seem like a Wikipedia-compatible license to me. [[User:Apocheir|Apocheir]] ([[User talk:Apocheir|talk]]) 01:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

**The source is [https://capitolpolice.ri.gov/about]. The relevant part of the "Copyright Policy" of the state government website says: "The compiled information presented on this WWW site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied. However, use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested." It's not written in the terms we're used to but no claim to a copyright is made at all, and there is an unqualified and absolute statement that the contents of the website "may be copied". It's compatible with CC BY-SA 3.0 and explicitly requests rather than requires attribution. More than good enough for me. Given that it's a dry paragraph of entirely factual information about the work of a public agency, if anyone is that concerned about it I would suggest it is simply rewritten.
