We have received your open records request for all our previous open records requests; however, I need a bit more clarification on the types of open records requests you are requesting. We have different types of open records such as crash reports, photos, videos, reports, emails, and other miscellaneous documents and each of those may be processed differently depending upon the requester and the type of record being requested. By narrowing the scope of your request, I will be able to supply you with a better estimate for the time and cost of gathering all the previous requests, because all of the original requests are not tracked in one specific database and will need to be gathered manually.
Thank you,

Hello, Ms. Opp —
Thank you so much for your response to my request. I'm interested in the log of all requests processed under the North Dakota Open Records Law. If some requests for materials like crash reports are not handled through the Open Records Law process and not logged accordingly, you don't have to worry about providing those ones to me.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or clarification. Thank you for your help!

Beryl,
The North Dakota Highway Patrol does not have a log of all requests handled through the Open Records Law as it is not required by North Dakota Century Code.
Additionally, agencies are not required to create documents, such as logs, to satisfy a request of this nature.
Thank you
