Police Chiefs and Mayors

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Please identify the last 10 police chiefs before December 31, 2021. Include their first and last name, start and end date (MM/DD/YYYY), type of separation (e.g., retired, resigned), internal/external hire, and if they were acting/interim.

Separately and in addition, please also identify the mayor who appointed the police chief. Include their first and last name, gender, race/ethnicity, and party identification (e.g., Republican, Democratic).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Kent Hoover, a citizen of Tennessee, in coordination with John Navarro.
