Firearm Policies, Procedures & Guidelines (Routt County Sheriff's Office)

Ms. Curtis,

In regards to your records request, since this request is of such a large and diverse nature we will require longer than 3 business days to fulfill it. We should be able to have the request filled within 7 business days from the time we receive our sign records request (attached). There will also be a $7 fee that will need to be paid. We cannot process cards, so payment will need to be either check or money order.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any and all policies, procedures, directives, memorandums, and any other guiding materials regarding matters pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use, and transfer, including, but not limited to, the following:
* policies and procedures on the issuance of firearms permits and licenses. (Please note that this point is not a request for identities of individual permit/license holders, but is rather a request for governmental policies and parameters regarding the process and regulations by which one may obtain a license or permit. If separate strictures exist for each, provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)
* policies and procedures on the revocation of firearms permits and licenses.
* any and all available policies and procedures regarding local firearms policies. Please provide all such materials that alter or supplement departmental procedures.
Please include all available segregable data.
Please also provide all available data, statistics, or reports regarding matters pertaining to gun acquisition, licensure, use, and transfer, including, but not limited to, the following:
* the issuance of firearms permits and licenses.
* the revocation of firearms permits and licenses.
* the suspension of firearms permits and licenses.
* the renewal of firearms permits and licenses.
* incidents involving the use of a firearm.
If various policies or reports exist dependent on the type of firearm, provision of all applicable materials would be greatly appreciated. Should they be voluminous, provision of materials on rolling basis would be greatly appreciated.
Should your agency believe that any additional policies, procedures, reports or other analysis pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use, transfer, deaths, incidents, or any related issues may reside with another agency or agencies, indication of such agencies would be greatly appreciated.
Please notify us if further clarification is necessary.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Ms. Curtis,

I do not think I mentioned in my email yesterday that in addition to the $7 request fee, there is a charge of .25 cents a page. This is a large request so at this time I am not sure of the total pages.
