To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Hampshire Right to Know Law, I respectfully request the following records related to this municipality's police department hiring, employment, and funding for the budget years 2000 through 2020:
BUDGET and FUNDING DATA - Records sufficient to show funding for municipal law enforcement offices and activities for the years 2000 through 2020.
If possible, please provide the itemized budget allocated for public safety and police department activities for each year, as well as records sufficient to show any additional funding received through other means, including but not limited to:
• funds for capital expenditures
• grants
• donations
HIRING and EMPLOYMENT DATA - Records sufficient to show the following data regarding police department employment for the years 2000 through 2020.
• The number of employed law enforcement officers (as defined by RSA 105-D:1). Please provide the date on which the provided numbers were accurate.
• Annual demographic information (age, race, gender) of law enforcement officers employed by this municipality
• Annual demographic information (age, race, gender) of any individual employed in a position of leadership within this municipality’s public safety or law enforcement department
If any of the requested information is available in aggregate form, provision of this aggregate information by year would likely satisfy this request. If there are any known caveats involved with the data and information your office is able to provide, I would really appreciate it if you could share them with me.
*Please note* that if any of the requested information is held by another office or agency, direction to the appropriate office would be greatly appreciated.

If your office anticipates that fees associated with the processing of this request, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request be filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Hi Ms. Huntoon,
Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your help. Yes, I think the original request went to the wrong Danbury Police. If there aren't electronic records available for the earlier years, please let me know if I would be able to come in person to inspect them.
Best,

To Whom It May Concern:
I'm following up on the following New Hampshire Right to Know Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on June 24, 2021. You had previously indicated that it would be completed on July 31, 2021. I wanted to check on the status of my request, and to see if there was a new estimated completion date.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

Thank you for this response. From looking at the town reports from 2019 and 2018 that are available online, I'm not able to see the number of employed law enforcement officers (apart from the Chief each year) or the demographic information we are requesting between 2000 and 2020. Can you point me to other records which contain this information? I really appreciate your help.
Best,
Cassidy

If you try the Police Department Annual Report on the inside of the town reports, if that doesn’t work, please let me know and I can try to carve out some time to gather further.

I apologize but I'm not seeing the section which contains the information on staffing that we are requesting. We are also seeking demographic information that won't be contained in town reports.
We really just need data for the years 2000 (staffing, demographics, budget), 2001 (budget), 2010 (staffing, demographics, budget), 2011 (budget), and 2020 (staffing, demographics, budget). Please feel free to give me a call at 603-369-3322 with any questions.
Best,
Cassidy
