doing this, however, we are bound by procedure to withhold your identifying
personal information from the forwarded email. We may direct you to personally
contact another agency or person. For site management functions, information is
collected for analysis and statistical purposes. This information is not
reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable

We use log analysis tools to

to ensure that the site remains available to all users, Mendon Public Safety
