I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

I have followed up on this request with our Police Department.   They have
obtained that Body Cam Footage from 7/4/25 and are in the process of
reviewing the stops.   There were multiple stops that day and it is taking
a little more time than expected.   We are requesting an additional
extension to respond and we anticipate that we will provide a response to
you by the end of next week (10/10/25).
