Hi, thanks for your help so far with this request! However, there should be more responsive documents to this request. For instance, the memorandum of understanding attached here stipulates that there must be communication between Ring and the police department before any public statements are made. Public statements are attached here, so there should be email communications between the police department and Ring.
Is there any more information I can provide that can help the NPD complete this request?
Best,
Caroline
From: Norman Police Department
