Hello,

I see. Sure, we're mainly looking for:

- communications regarding collaborating on crime mitigation efforts. There was supposed to be a meeting held between both departments in June or July of this year.
- communications regarding incidents at Mike's Place, Roosevelt & Cuyler

Does that help narrow it down enough?
