Hello,
Thank you for the reply. Could your office please provide me with a full estimate in terms of volume, cost, and time? It may make sense to narrow the request but it isn't clear. Is that video surveillance footage for the months of May and June 2020? Or is that historical footage? Could you estimate the requested data if it only covers the months of May and June 2020?
Thank you!
From: Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
This estimate is limited to May and June 2020.

Hello,
In order to lower costs and reduce the overall workload for your agency, I'd like to narrow the scope of the search to June 6th, 2020. Could you please advise on the costs associated with this records request for a single day's worth of records?
Thank you in advance!
From: Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
Thank you for your e-mail. What exactly are you wanting to narrow to June 6, 2020? You have also requested documents regarding the helicopter, including maintenance and purchase orders. Can you please be specific to what you are requesting?

Dear Mr. Morrison,
I would like to narrow my request for data produced from the helicopter to June 6th, 2020. For example this would include surveillance imaging of the demonstrations, should any such data exist. I am still interested in contemporary records and purchase orders for equipment in use on June 6th, 2020. Any relevant maintenance records, flight logs, mission sheets, and similar documents for that date would also be fine. I'm not very interested in historical records for equipment that was not in the helicopter on that date unless it's simply in one stack of documents and it would be more work to sort it out.
Thank you for your time today.
From: Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security
Good afternoon .Please see the attached letter.
