Incident reports of underage drinking

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of all data related to citations/arrests made by your agency for incidents of underage drinking. I am specifically seeking any statistics related to the total number of arrests and/or citations for offenses related to underage drinking as well as the location of the incident and the race, ethnicity, age, sex, and other demographic information of the persons arrested and/or cited. The time frame for which I am seeking is from January 2020 to to the time this request is processed. I would like electronic copies of this data that is not in the form of a PDF so I can download it into a spreadsheet like Excel or R.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Adriana Diaz
