Good morning.
I've received your request for public records regarding domestic violence reports for July of 2019 and 2020. It was requested in the email that if there are charges associated, that amount be reported prior to fulfilling the request. In July of 2020, for example, there are 88 domestic violence calls. I can't give you an exact amount due prior to starting the process of pulling all of the requested data for each report because I don't know exactly how long that will take. I'd imagine it'll take a few hours to complete both of the requested years. We charge $21 an hour for pulling and processing discovery.
If you'd like to move forward off this approximation, please let me know and I'll get started.
Thank you,

As for the average response times, I'll assume you've the means of determining that based off of what I've forwarded along.
