Dear Ms. Russo,
I'm normally very amenable to requests for extensions, but the information I requested was supposed to be published on the relevant offices' website(s) no later than January 31. To be clear, this would include the county police department, county prosecutor's office, county sheriff's office, and/or county corrections dept.
What is the soonest they can produce the requested items or point me to where they can be found online?
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
