From: Muckrock Staff

Hello,

Thank you for your attention to this request. Can you please provide an itemized breakdown of the 6-8 hour processing time required for this request? The main document of interest is the collective bargaining agreement, which we did not anticipate would require such time. Are there changes we can make to the language of the request to reduce the processing?

Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,
MuckRock

From: Clarksville Police Department
