Dear Chief Pata,

Thanks for the follow up. I hope your medical issues are all resolved.

I appreciate your data but am a bit surprised that is it so abbreviated compared to the other 7 Marin department reports I’ve received which match the State RIPA Board required format. Does your small force size give you a lower reporting standard?

Best Regards,

Frank
