Policy Documents

To whom it may concern – the Plum Boro Police Dept received your right to know request on 7/26/24 and forwarded it to my attention, as I am the AORO for the Boro. Please note that we only received one page in the message, although the top line indicates 2 pages. Please confirm whether there is a page missing, and whether it includes additional information that I would need to fulfill your request.

Pursuant to Section 902(a) of the RTKL, an additional 30 days are required to respond because (check all that apply):

☐ The request requires redaction in accordance with Section 706 of the RTKL.
☐ The request requires the retrieval of a record stored in a remote location.
☐ A timely response cannot be accomplished due to bona fide staffing limitations.
☒ A legal review is needed to determine whether the record is subject to access under this act, 65 P.S. § 67.902(a)(4)
☐ The requester has not complied with the Agency’s policies regarding access to records.
☐ The requester refuses to pay applicable fees authorized by the RTKL.
☐ The extent or nature of the request precludes a response within the required time period.

Based on this thirty (30) day extension, starting after the initial five (5) business days granted to the Agency, you will receive a response on or before September 1st, 2024. Please be advised that if the Agency is required to make copies and/or mail documents in order to fulfill your request, you will be charged the applicable fees, as generated by the Office of Open Records. The Agency reserves the right to require prepayment of fees as allowed by law.
