Your request is unclear to us. This agency is asking you to clarify what information you are seeking concerning the following:
“1. Please clarify if you want Law Enforcement and Corrections or just Law Enforcement”

We would like to provide you with all the material you are seeking, but we are having difficulty interpreting the above quoted portion of your request. Please provide us with clarifying information that further describes the subject matter of the records you are seeking. Please include as many descriptive terms as possible. This will help us to identify the records you seek, reduce search time, avoid potentially producing more records than you want, and facilitate a faster agency response.

At this time, we will search for responsive records pertaining to those portions of your request that are clear to us, and we anticipate producing those records to you on Wednesday, April 7, 2021.  Please provide clarifying information to us by Monday, 03/16/2021. We look forward to receiving additional clarifying information from you as requested above. If we do not receive the requested additional clarifying information, we may only be able to fulfill those parts of your request that are clear.
