WHAT...no policies and procedures LFPD and MCSO??? You must be kidding.

In early August 2015 I made a data request for the policies and procedures at the Little Falls Mn police department and the Morrison County Sheriffs Office. To date 11-7-15, I have NOT received them. The last communication with Lori Kasella (the responsible authority for Little Falls) on Oct. 29,21015 when I asked what was taking so long, her response was "The police department continues to work on them."  The last communication with Mary Swenson of the Morrison County Sheriffs Office on 10-29-15 when I inquired as to what was taking so long to get the policies and procedures, she stated " We are working on your request and will let you know when it is complete." 

So do either of these governmental agencies have the required by legislature policies and procedures in place or are they in the process of writing them?  Someone has said, if they don't have them, it is intentional as there are boilerplate model examples out there, a city or county just needs to fill in their name and responsible officials. 

Or, do they have policies and procedures but had to have League of Mn Cities big dog lawyers, city and county attorneys revise them because they were poorly written or not up to date?
