To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any policy manual, employee procedure manual, or folder of collected policies which guide police operations. This may be one document with many policies, or all policies collected.
The original format of the documents is acceptable (PDF, .doc, .txt, etc).
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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Jesse Wozniak

☐ The requester has not complied with the Agency’s policies regarding access to records.
