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

Thank you for your request. At this time, we are unable to provide all Body Worn Camera footage for every accident within the specified time frame. In order to proceed, please specify the case number, date of the incident, or the name of an involved party so that we can locate the correct record and provide you with an estimate for the video.
Thank You,
