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.

• 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.

This request is being made on behalf of the statewide nonprofit Granite State News Collaborative. This request is not being made for commercial purposes. It is being made as part of a journalistic data collection effort to benefit news organizations and the public good throughout the State of New Hampshire.
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.

RE: RTK request dated 9.8.2021
To Whom It May Concern:
I have completed your right to know (RTK) request for Langdon Police Department’s budget and employment data for budget years 2000-2020. We apologize for the delay; searching for, compiling, and preparing 20 years of information for your request on a very limited budget with limited resources, 1 officer (me), and a part-time police department with part-time only town staff made it extremely difficult causing a delay. Demographic data available to us is limited: retired Chief Raymond L’Abbe is a white male, former Chief Stephen Murrell is a white male, former Sergeant Joshua Wade is a white male, and I am a white male.
I spoke to Cassidy Jenson on the phone today 603-369-3322. We can not upload documents to links you sent, and we can not scan and email information as we do not have the technical knowledge or necessary equipment/technology to do so. We spent significant time out of our responsibilities in town to photocopy 128 pages of information you requested in your RTK request. There is a charge of $0.50 per page for a total cost of $64.00 for the RTK information you requested. Check payments can be made out to the ‘Town of Langdon’. We can also ship the information to you via USPS priority mail envelope for the additional cost of shipping: $8.95. If you prefer to pick up your requested documents, our town office assistant Linda Christie is located at 122 NH Route 12A limited hours Mondays and Wednesdays- more information online or via town office phone.
Please let us know how you would like to collect the documentation for your right to know request.
Thank you,
