Your Open Records Request
RE: Policies and Procedures of Domestic Violence
Dear Mr. Lipton:
The following is in response to your Open Records Request received by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office regarding the above referenced request.
Attached is a copy of our policies and procedures pertaining to domestic/family violence. At the bottom of page 5, it states the procedures on how to handle family violence incidents involving deputies and Bibb County Sheriff’s Office personnel.
Due to gathering the information you are requesting, it will take more than 3 business days to complete your request. I have forwarded your request regarding complaints and investigations of domestic violence against employees to our Internal Affairs Department. I will notify you of any cost and contact you once your request is complete.
Please contact me at (478) 803-2393, or by email at bsoopenrecords@maconbibb.us<mailto:bsoopenrecords@maconbibb.us>, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kristie Brown

Good Afternoon,
Our Internal Affairs Department stated, the information being requested regarding complaints and investigations of domestic violence against deputies for the last 10 years is extremely broad and would be exhaustingly time-consuming and expensive to provide as submitted. They are unable to give an exact estimation of cost but it will be over $200.00. In an effort to defer some of your costs, I would like to suggest that you narrow the scope of or modify your request. It will probably be more feasible to request information for the last 3 years. Please let me know if you would like for us to proceed with your request.
Thanks,
Kristie Brown
Bibb County Sheriff’s Office
