Hello. I am trying to confirm whether or not the denial call to Allen County Sheriffs Office which was tentatively scheduled for
09/0312008 was made on that date or whether it has been rescheduled. The local POC for 01 inquired this morning by email and I
would like to know the results of the call so that I can relay that information to him.
Thank you,
