Good afternoon:
This OPRA request has been received. There is a special fee that must be paid prior to processing the response:
There is approximately 9 hours of video that needs to be reviewed and redacted. The fee is $563.22 + $5 for the DVD. If you also want it mailed, there is an additional fee for postage that will be calculated when you advise where you want this mailed to. Alternatively, you can pick this up when it's ready.
As an alternate option, the first officer on scene’s video is about 43 minutes and can be processed without a service fee. The fee for this again would be $5 for the DVD and if you also want it mailed, there is an additional fee for postage that will be calculated when you advise where you want this mailed to. Alternatively, you can pick this up when it's ready.
Please advise so we can respond accordingly. Thank you
Kind Regards,

Dear Monica Orlando,
Thank you for the response, i will accept the alternative option, accepting the the first officer on scene’s video. Can video be provided in usb -drive or electronic file transfer as in previos request dvd did not work out, and i believe this was accommodated by providing the footage on a usb-drive.
Yours sincerely,
Carlos Ramirez
Carlos:
