Hello,
I’m sorry, I never received the below message dated 8/10 regarding a check. In the Muckrock tracker, it shows the check was created yesterday 8/24. As soon as we have payment, we’ll begin processing the request, so I don’t have a specific date at this time, but it shouldn’t be very long after that. I’ll let the various folks responsible know that payment is on the way.
Thank you,
Tim

Hello Tim,
Thank you for this information. I believe I am missing the 2019 Use of Force Summary report in the PDF you sent. Would you be able to send that over? Otherwise looks good!
Thanks,

Hi Sam,
Sorry about that! I somehow must have missed grabbing that when combining all the files into one pdf. Here you go.
