Hi Samuel, I have been assigned your request for use of force information.
In looking over your request this is going to be extensive with gathering
information and putting information into a format that you are requesting.
We are in need of a $50 pre-payment before we can begin to work on this.
Can you please call our office at 435-627-4301 with a payment and please
note the 10 day response time will begin once we receive that.
If you have any questions please give me a call. I would have called you
regarding this however we do not have a contact phone number for you.
Thank you so much, Edye

Hi Edye,
Quick question: Would the $50 be a deposit or payment for the fulfillment of the whole request? If it would just be a deposit, would you be able to tell me how much the entire cost to fulfill the request will be?
Thanks,
Sam
From: St. George Police Department
It would be a downpayment, I won't know the total cost until I'm basically
done as I'm not sure how long it will take me to pull all the records and
put them into the spreadsheet like you want it...it's extensive because of
the years that I have to look at .
