Good afternoon Beryl,
I had a co-worker who originally received this request in February, but he has since left the department and I could not find any record that this request had been fulfilled. I am now assigned and have forwarded the request to the appropriate sections to identify any records that may be responsive.
Thank you,
Laura

I wanted to let you know that a request for an update came directly to my email and not through pio@lvmpd.com<mailto:pio@lvmpd.com>, along with several other records requests that I am now in the process of reviewing to see what the status is. As of August 29, 2019 my direct email will no longer be active, so any requests going to that email will not receive a response.
Thank you,
Laura
