Dear ee:
Mr. Halpin has left the employ of the Cook County Sheriff's Office. I am taking over responding to this request. Because we have recently lost two FOIA staff members and have not fully trained their replacements, I am requesting an extension to March 5, 2024 to respond to this FOIA request, similar to the extension I requested on the related request (R051045 - in which one responsive record was provided). Thank you for your understanding
