Hi Hollie,
My name is Cassidy Jensen and I'm a reporter at the Concord Monitor. I just gave you a call in reference to this request my colleague Beryl Lipton made over the summer. I wanted to follow up and ask for the number of full-time law enforcement officers employed in 2000 and 2010. I wasn't able to find this information in the annual reports. Please feel free to call me at 603-369-3322 with any questions.
Thanks,
Cassidy
