Is there a possibility that I request a copy of the Bureau of Customs Law Enforcement Operations Manual through the FOI? I will use the information for my notes and presentations for my subject "Law Enforcement Operations and Planning with Crime Mapping" under the BS Criminology curriculum.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
