Thanks for providing the five attachments above, and thank you for your speedy response!
I’d like to ask for some additional clarification to the following. My request asked for:
Please provide the total number of calls received AND dispatched for the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office/911 Dispatch, during the time period of 01/01/2020 through 04/01/2024. Please also indicate the total number of calls received and dispatched by month to each entity (such as the Fire Dept, Police Dept, etc).
For Example:
January 2020. Total Calls: 100. Dispatched to Sheriff’s Dept: 25. Dispatched to Fire Dept: 10
To be clear, I’m only requesting to know totals. Please DO NOT include any personally identifying information about callers, addresses, case #s, etc, if that type of data exists. It is not relevant to my request.
I reviewed the files you sent, but it isn’t clear to me if the totals in each row are meant to show “the total number of calls received” AND “the total number of calls dispatched” by each department / entity in that month. In other words — are you combining the total of “all calls received” and “all calls dispatched” as one number, rather than break them out individually?
Thank you for your help!
