How much did the Police Department FOIs Cost The Taxpayers?

Someone should ask Chief Guisti, how much the FOIs cost the taxpayers of Middlebury.  We know it was quite a bit. Police Officers who are hired to serve and protect the residents of Middlebury had to be taken off the streets in order to fulfill the FOI requests.  Who is now wasting the taxpayers money? Statistics that could be obtained from the Internet had to be compiled by taking police officers off the streets.  We pay our police to protect us, not to do statistical research for Middlebury residents.
