Police FAQ

Where can I submit my public records request?


To avoid delays in processing your request, be as specific as possible regarding the records you are requesting. If a request is vague or overly broad, (e.g. “all documents” on a topic, “all emails” for multiple people or not including a specific timeframe). It could require an extension as well as take longer to identify and collect potentially responsive records.


A valid email address is required to access your request.
