Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella reminds the public that, on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, the Department of Justice will release the names of officers who were added to the Exculpatory Evidence Schedule (EES) prior to April 30, 2018, unless the officer has timely notified the Department of Justice that he or she has a pending legal action regarding his or her placement on the EES.

The Department of Justice's release of the officer's name, as well as any corresponding information on the EES, is required by RSA 105:13-d, which was enacted by the New Hampshire Legislature last year.

In order for an officer to keep his or her name from becoming public, state law requires that, on or before Monday, March 28, 2022, the officer must provide the Department of Justice with actual notice that his or her lawsuit has been filed. Such notices should include a copy of the summons, complaint, and any other court orders issued in the matter.

Such notices must be received on or before Monday, March 28, 2022 at the following address:

New Hampshire Department of Justice
Civil Bureau – Civil Litigation Unit
Attn: Exculpatory Evidence Schedule Matters
1 Granite Place South
Concord, NH 03301

In addition, officers providing notice may also wish to send them by email to Sam Garland (Samuel.RV.Garland@doj.nh.gov) and the Civil Bureau's general electronic mailbox (Civil.Bureau@doj.nh.gov).

Please do not send notices to the Department of Justice in any other way as doing so may result in the Department of Justice not timely seeing or processing your notice before the March 29, 2022 release date.

If you have provided notice and would like to confirm that the Department of Justice has received it, please contact us at 603-271-3650.
