Mr. Hoover,
Per our previous communication, this Office received your below public records request on January 23, 2023. It is our understanding you are seeking Bulletins generated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation ("TBI") and disseminated by the Tennessee Fusion Center during the period of July 1, 2022-December 31, 2022. Please see attached responsive record.
Further, please be advised another Bulletin was generated by the TBI during the requested period; however, we are unable to provide this record.

For the reasons outlined herein, your request is denied in part.
