Dear Ms. Cornella,
I received your email but the link does not take me to the records I requested. Instead, it takes me to the Attorney General's Directive that I had sent to your office for clarity.
Please provide the information that the directive requires the police department to publish for the 2024 reporting year. Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
