Good Morning,

We are trying to process an Open Records Request that you sent to us on 02-20-2015. You asked for a copy of all data related to citations for marijuana possession on the state and local levels, specifically January 2011 to December 2014. Please clarify exactly what information you are seeking so we will know what type of report to run.

Also, we would only have the citations written by Georgia State Troopers, not local police officers or deputies.
Thanks,

Cindy
