We have received your request for a public record. It is our goal to respond to these requests as soon as possible or within 5 business days. However, please note that certain requests may take longer to process due to the size of the records requested or current request volumes. Your request has been given the following reference number W024897-020923 for tracking purposes.

Record Requested: To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

I’m making this request on behalf of a reporter working with MindSite News, a not-for-profit journalism organization that works with students and partner news organizations to gather, study and disseminate data. I hereby request a fee waiver, as the request is being made for non-commercial purposes with the intention of journalism research in the public interest.

I am requesting a log of 9-1-1 calls categorized as a mental health issue from January 2010 - Present, or as far back as feasible. The log should include: Identification number, event no, date of call, time of call, description of event, name of caller, age, race, address, type of response sent, and result of service. Please provide the response in a csv format.

Please let me know promptly if there are going to be any delays beyond the statutory deadlines. If any part of the request must be delayed for any reason or if some part of the request will take longer than other parts, I would appreciate it if the information could come to me on a rolling basis as the documents are available, instead of waiting for the entire request to be complete before it is sent to me.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
