To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for writing to Fawn Township Police Dept. to request records pursuant to Pennsylvania’s Right-to-Know Law (“RTKL”), 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq. On August 5 2024, I received your request for any policy manual, employee procedure manual, or folder of collected policies which guide police operations.

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.
☐ 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.

The Fawn Township RTKO expects to respond to your request on or before September 1, 2024. It is estimated that reproducing the requested records will cost in excess of $100 and as such the prepayment of duplication fee is requested. Please respond as to how you would like to proceed with your request so that I can provide you with a more accurate cost.

Respectfully,

Pamela J. Ponsart
