BUDGET and FUNDING DATA - Records sufficient to show funding for municipal law enforcement offices and activities for the years 2000 through 2020.
If possible, please provide the itemized budget allocated for public safety and police department activities for each year, as well as records sufficient to show any additional funding received through other means, including but not limited to:

• Annual demographic information (age, race, gender) of any individual employed in a position of leadership within this municipality’s public safety or law enforcement department
If any of the requested information is available in aggregate form, provision of this aggregate information by year would likely satisfy this request.

If your office anticipates that fees associated with the processing of this request, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request be filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following New Hampshire Right to Know Law request, copied below, and originally submitted on June 24, 2021. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.
From: Wentworth Police Department
Beryl Lipton,
Please allow this e-mail to serve as my response to your right to know
request regarding the information you have outlined and are looking to
seek. Your request is being reviewed and we will see what can get to you
for information as promptly as possible.
Having said that, because this does not pertain to a criminal case, not
exculpatory in nature, and will require a significant amount of time to
obtain, organize, and send there will in fact most likely be a cost
associated with your request that you will have to take care. This is a
labor intensive request and will require my administrative assistant to
perform work above and beyond her normal tasks.
As you have requested, when I am able I will inform you of the "estimated"
costs to complete your request so you may know what that is prior to
satisfying your request. You will need to satisfy that cost prior to the
processing of the request which I am sure you are aware of and have no
issues with.
We have no issues with your RTK request regarding the specifics outlined at
this time and will get back to you shortly regarding specifics and follow
up.
Respectfully, Chief Wallace Trott

Beryl Lipton,
I have received your 2nd e-mail regarding your 91-A request, it sounds as
though you did not receive my first response which I sent on 07/01/2021. It
is as follows. Please let me know if you are ok with paying for the
processing of your request. I expect that it should be between $75.00 and
$125.00 to have my administrative assistant research the information and
get it you. If you are ok with this then I will start the process. Please
keep in mind that we may be limited in our information as we are only a
part time law enforcement agency and not 24/7.
Thank you, Chief Trott
