Hello,

I am in receipt of your request and will respond as soon as possible.

Please know that we have no documents or records of any kind that would relate to firearms licensure, sale, etc. I only have our departmental policy governing the use of firearms by our deputies and will gladly provide that, if you like?

I will provide you with the requested firearms-related homicides and assaults as soon as I receive those statistics.

Thank you!
