Hello Ms. Tribue,
I'm sorry for the delay. I'm interested in claims involving your law enforcement officers of your agency. This may include vehicular collision payments, as well as conduct-related payments involving members of the public.
Please feel free to call me at 617-500-7123 if you have any more questions.
Thanks so much,
Beryl

Good morning,
There have been approximately 200 liability claims filed during that period, and our liability carrier will have to research each claim to determine if there was a settlement in the matter. This therefore is an extensive request that will require a significant expenditure of manpower to research. We will provide a cost estimate and require a deposit therefore prior to commencing a search for responsive documents. I will advise you once the carrier provides me an estimate.
Thanks

The cost estimate is 22.5 hours at @ $20.00 per hour for our carrier, they have already expended 2.5 hours of labor to research and create a summary report which is $50.00 and that report can be sent upon payment.
