BUDGET and FUNDING DATA - Records sufficient to show funding for municipal law enforcement offices and activities for the years 2000 through 2020.
If possible, please provide the itemized budget allocated for public safety and police department activities for each year, as well as records sufficient to show any additional funding received through other means, including but not limited to:

Hi Mary Ann,
Thank you for responding to my request and I apologize for the follow-up. I did want to clarify one part of our request - does the Pembroke Police Department have the demographic information for officers requested? I don't believe that information can be found in the town reports.
Thanks,
Cassidy

Good Morning Cassidy:
Today, we received another request.
The Pembroke Town Administrator advised me that he responded to the August 2, 2021 by email on August 2, 2021 to MudRock News at the email address provided by MudRock News.
The response indicated that the Town of Pembroke Municipality does not maintain a document that identifies the number of employees in a department at any given time. We are not required to file an EEO-1 Form, and do not have any documentation from 2000-2020 that would be relative to this request. The Town of Pembroke does not maintain any documents reflecting demographic profiles of any individuals employed by the Town, therefore we do not possess records that would be accessible to your request.
I hope this information will be helpful and concludes this request.
My pleasure to assist you.

A letter stating the requester must agree to or prepay assessed or estimated fees in order for the agency to continue processing the request.
