From: Sam Stecklow

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a public records request made via MuckRock under the NH Open Records Act, seeking records related to law enforcement officer certification in this state.

This request is brought by Big Local News along with a collaboration of news organizations, including ABC News, KQED, MuckRock, the Invisible Institute and other news organizations. Big Local News is a program of Stanford University’s Journalism and Democracy Initiative and helps journalists collect, process and analyze public data.

We request any spreadsheets, logs, data, or other similar documents maintained by PSTC sufficient to show the following information regarding law enforcement officers who receive basic training waivers in NH due to their previous certification in other states. Specifically, please provide as many of the following data points as are maintained:

- Unique ID
- Name
- Previous state that the officer was previously certified by
- Date of NH certification

If your certification system contains data elements not listed above, please include them in the response, provided they are releasable under the law. On the other hand, we recognize some of the information we are asking for may not be tracked by your system. If that is the case, we are willing to accept as many of the data elements as your agency maintains. If some records are more readily available, we are happy to receive partial information as soon as possible while the remaining request is processed.

In addition to the data elements listed, we request documentation necessary to understand and interpret the data, including but not limited to record layouts, data dictionaries, code sheets, lookup tables, etc.

Our preference is to receive structured data provided in a machine-readable text file, such as delimited or fixed-width formats. We can also handle a variety of other data formats including SQL databases, Excel workbooks and MS Access. If there are additional formats your agency would prefer to provide, please let us know.

We are seeking this information as a news media organization on a matter of public interest concerning the conduct of government. As such, we ask for a waiver of all fees, if allowed under state law. If fees are necessary to reimburse the agency for actual costs, we agree to pay up to $100. If costs exceed that amount, please let us know before fulfilling the request.

Please send clarifications and questions via electronic communication at any time. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this request.

This will acknowledge receipt of your request. We will need additional time to search for records responsive to your request. Do you have a particular date range in mind?

Hello Maj. Parenteau

I'm looking for electronic data, so I'm just hoping to receive whatever electronic data may exist.

Let me know if you need further clarification or would like to speak about how these records are held.

Thanks

Sam

Good afternoon requests@muckrock.com<mailto:requests@muckrock.com>
I’ve asked for some help on your request. Unfortunately there isn’t any way that I know of to query
PSTC’s database for your request, it will have to be searched for manually through documents.
Do you have specific dates for this query? I will be back in the office next week to follow up.
Thank you for your patience
Anne

Hi Anne

If the files have to be gone through manually, could you provide a cost estimate per year?

Hi Maj. Parenteau

Could we go back to 2018 to make it an even 5, and then we can end it for this request? We can always file a new one if we need older records.

Thanks for your work on this.

Sam

From: New Hampshire Police Standards & Training Council

Sam,

2018 attached...
