    Provide as much information as possible so we can better assist you. To expedite your request, it is most helpful if you can provide: full name(s) and date of birth of the person(s) the records are about, date and time of incident, street/road location of incident (with the nearest cross street/road name), case number, and arrest date (if applicable). Note: The Public Information Act does not require governmental bodies to create new information, perform legal research, or to answer questions. The request must ask for records or information already in existence.

19. Case Number

    Please provide the 8 digit case number, if available, for the records you are requesting.

21. IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Under the Public Information Act, some categories of information do not have to be released. Exceptions to disclosure fall into two general categories: 1) mandatory exceptions that make information confidential and require a governmental body to withhold information, and 2) discretionary exceptions that allow but do not require a governmental body to withhold information. In most instances, a governmental body is required to request a decision from the Attorney General in order to withhold information from a requestor. However, a requestor may permit a governmental body to redact information without requesting an Attorney General decision. You are not required to agree to the redaction of any information responsive to your request, but doing so may streamline the handling of your request. If you agree to redactions in this request, then you may request the redacted information in a future information request.
