Good Morning,
I apologize you are having issues with the websites we have provided. I am able to burn the body worn cameras onto 2 (due to size of file) CD disks for a fee of $1.00 per disk which totals $2.00 (cash or check) at time of pick up.
Please confirm you would like to have these videos burned onto disks and we will have them ready for pickup by the end of business day.
Also, please be advised I have confirmed with the Police Department , no dash cam videos were recorded for the requested case number.

Thank you,
Britani
