Subject: OPRA
Ms. Hesselbarth,
In reference to OPRA #17-1301, please be advised that the requested item
#4 specifically, will require the manual review of EACH use of force
report, for the period requested (2014-2017). The rationale for this is
the requirement to redact any pertinent information related to a juvenile
or a mental/health condition disclosed on the form which is noted for the
involved party, which would also be rendered non-releasable. This manual
review will take a minimum of two (2) hours, but no less than four (4),
and as such would generate a “Special Service Fee” of approximately
$250.00. Prior to compiling the requested information and preparing same
for release, please extend this information to the inquiring party and
advise how they wish to proceed, in relation to this special service fee.
If you require any further information, please advise.
