2022-01-13 08:56:11 CST - Katherine Knudsen Public Comments Good morning,
Due to the volume of data you are requesting it will be produced on a rolling basis, so a certain segment of the data will be sent to you and we will ask you to confirm that you still want to receive additional information. It would be helpful if you could narrow the parameters of your request. Are you looking for applicants to a specific position, or all sworn and civilian applicants? Also, which year did you want to start with? Do you want to start from 2014 and work forward?
Thank you,

2022-02-01 16:30:50 CST - Katherine Knudsen Public Comments I have a follow up question for you, did you want all applicants or just applicants that were eventually hired?
2022-01-17 05:05:28 CST - Michael Topper Public Comments Hi Katie,

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I can narrow the request a little: I'm looking for only sworn-in officer applications for the dates described above. It is absolutely ok with me if the data is released on a rolling basis. If possible, could you prioritize the years 2020, 2019 and 2021 in that order?

Thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it!

Michael

2022-02-03 02:47:12 CST - Michael Topper Public Comments Hi Katherine,

I am looking for all applicants. That is, those that applied and those that were hired. If there is a way to delineate between the two this would be most preferred.

Thanks so much!
