I am in receipt of your FOIL request. I left it on the police department desk. We are a small Village and the police officers only work part-time. I am sure they will respond timely once they are in the office to work.
Sincerely,

Good morning
In the attached document I explain that we are a very small part time police agency and any type of call for a potential SAEC case we request assistance from the New York State Police and we assist them in the case.
Have a great day.
