Dear Ms. Renteria,
Thank you so much for your help with this request, we really appreciate you providing all these purchase records!
I may have missed it in the extensive documentation you provided (if so, please let me know!) - should we expect to also see records of deployment from your agency?
Sincerely,
Jennifer Tu

From: Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your email.
We have contacted the Sheriff’s Department about the deployment records. I don’t think you missed it because I don’t believe I ever saw records relating to deployment for those examples listed in #3 of your original request. I hope to have an answer for you soon.
Thank you,

Good morning,
Did you receive this letter on April 13th with a partial dispatch of the records? We are still waiting on the CCW data due to the voluminous nature of the data. We are trying to dispatch the information as soon as possible.

From: John Lindsay-Poland
Hi Kelly,
I think the preceding email and attachment were intended for another recipient. I am not Mr. McManus nor did I request records related to CCW permits.
However, I am still awaiting response regarding a portion of my request from November 19, 2021, regarding records of deployment by the Sheriff's Office of certain types of equipment. You had stated that this was scheduled for April 14.
Thanks.
John
