Ms. Brown
We have received your request regarding police reports and records documenting individual incidents of bears entering residences and businesses within our jurisdiction for the years 2010 - 2021.
After a search of our records, I have determined we have over 400 pages of Calls for Service reports that meet the criteria. Not all of the information is releasable and the records will have to be redacted.
Due to our current staffing and the amount of time it will take to prepare the reports, I estimate your records will be ready for release on or before February 28, 2022.
Thank you for your continued patience.
