I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

Hi Russell
Our dispatch supervisor is on vacation, so its likely I won’t have the transcript ready until next week.

No worries. Again, thanks for the prompt response, I really appreciate it.

Hi Russell
Since the “phone call” related to this matter did not go to a “public safety answering point” aka 911 call center, we can neither provide a copy, or written transcript of it. Doing so would constitute an “unwarranted” invasion of personal privacy, Title 16 Sec 804-3.
Have a good day.
