Local level SAEC policies/data (Sodus Point Village Police Department)

Sorry the request went to the other clerk that is out on vacation. I tried
to call this morning to speak to you regarding the request.

Im not sure if you are familiar with Sodus Point but we are a very small
little village. The Police department is usually seasonal but this year has
been deactivated.

I do not have any information in my office regarding this request. The
request is very large. I would suggest narrowing the request if you are
looking for a specific incident?

Thank you
