I need an attorney to get public information from the police dept. Does this fall under the practice of public disclosure?

I have never heard of a doctrine called "Public Disclosure." Police reports are usually not given to the defendant because of privacy concerns regarding the witnesses. Your attorney can get them but cannot share witness identifying information with you. Let your attorney handle this; he'll get better results.

Attorney John M. Kaman did not know that the state of Washington has a Public Disclosure law.

Thank you to all other attorneys helpful advice.
