From: Polk County Sheriff
To whom it may concern:
Our best guess on how long it would take for a Public Information Officer to click through the agency Facebook page settings, plus visit nine separate posts to view, capture, and save all comments hidden by the page, is between two and three hours. The PIOs' rate of pay is $33.00 per hour.
If you'll kindly send a check in the amount of $66.00 to pay for at least the first two hours' worth of work made out to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, ATTN: Public Information Office, 1891 Jim Keene Blvd, Winter Haven, FL, 33880, we can begin processing your request as soon as payment is received.
If the request ends up taking less time than two hours, we will refund the portion of unused funds. If the request ends up taking more time than two hours, we will get back with you with an updated estimate to complete the request and ask for another payment to be remitted.
Please let me know how you would like us to proceed.
Thank you,
Carrie Horstman
