Hi Tony,
I am in receipt of your OPRA request. I have identified around 14 BWC
videos for fire department assists between the dates of 7/1 and 7/14.
Those 14 videos amount to around 100 minutes of footage. Due to the large
amount of footage needed to be redacted to protect personal
information and expectation of privacy inside residences, a special
service charge would have to be administered as the amount of redactions
would be considered outside my regular scope of duty. My hourly rate is
around $80.00/hr and I estimate around 6 hours of work to perform these
redactions. Payment would need to be made prior to work being completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and how you would
like to proceed.
Respectfully,
