Hi,
Thanks so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it.

Hi Patty,
This is Cassidy Jensen from the Concord Monitor. I'm just writing to follow-up on our phone conversation this morning. I had just called to confirm that Dover had 21 officers in 2000, 69 officers in 2010 and 52 officers in 2020. I had also wanted to check that I was reading this data correctly by assuming that a blank "date left" column meant that a particular officer was still in the department. Feel free to give me a call at 603-369-3322 with any questions.
Thanks,
Cassidy
From: Dover Police Department
