To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Mississippi's Public Records Act, I hereby request the following documents:

Copies of all reports, lists, or databases detailing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the city's police department since 2009. This should include requests for, or documentation of, funds used to cover settlement agreements, court costs, or other expenses related to lawsuits.

This request should be construed to include any document submitted to, compiled by, or in any way maintained by the department that lists lawsuits brought against the department between 2009 through the present. If a document exists that contains the requested information for some, but not all of the above mentioned years, please include that/those document(s).

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 fees cannot be waived, 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.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety is a state agency, not a city agency.

Teresa, hello-
Can you please clarify your response? This request was made under the Mississippi's Public Records Act, and other than your communication, has gone unacknowledged for almost a year. Thank you.

From: Warren Strain

Good morning, Mr. Morisy.

After a review of your request (below), your cost will be into the thousands, if not into the tens of thousands, of dollars.
We charge a reasonable minimum hourly rate, plus the cost of materials used to provide the information.
Do you want us to move forward with this request?

Sincerely,
Warren Strain
