Good Morning,

Attached, please find the reports requested. As for BWC and dash footage, they videos are too large to email. I can download them to a thumb drive and you can pick it up or I can mail it to you. Please let me know which option works best for you.

Thank you,

Dear Sherry Marnell,

Due to this persons involvement in local politics and reputation for retribution, I would like to have this video released to my township council woman Kim Burkus. I have spoken to her and she has agreed to pick it up on my behalf and then give me the video privately. I ask that the video be downloaded to a thumb drive and made available to Kim via Chief Spencer.

Yours sincerely,

Olde School Mount Holly

Good Morning,

Captain Spencer is not in the office this morning. Ms. Burkus is free to pick the thumb drive up from me in the Clerk's office. Should you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you,
