To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Recent media reports state that the Albuquerque Police are installing cameras to doorbells and planting dummy boxes with GPS tracking devices at homes around the city in a collaboration with Amazon. (https://www.apnews.com/c654020c42b94055a19801b849d337a2)
Therefore, I am requesting the following records related to the above program:
* All instructional materials, presentations and presentation materials (including recorded video and audio, PowerPoint files, prepared remarks, and slides formats), and other guidance on the use of the cameras and the GPS tracking devices. This includes any notes taking during meetings that discussed the use of the cameras and the GPS tracking devices, any explanations (whether internally or externally generated) of how the software works, and any other document that has been used to help explain the use of the cameras and the GPS tracking devices to any party, including internal documentation, public relations materials, and executive summaries. This also includes any description of input and output data fields that will aid in understanding the type of information that is submitted to the software, and that is produced by the software.
* A copy of any privacy impact assessments, use policies, standard operating procedures, data retention policies, legal opinions, warranties, non-disclosure agreements, contracts, liability waivers, insurance agreements, Requests for Proposals, Responses to Requests for Proposal, Memorandums of Understanding, Letters of Interest, usage policies, or informal agreements that reference "the software" or otherwise guide it use or the relationship between this agency and the provider or developer of the software.
* A copy of any funding opportunity announcements, grant applications and grantor status/progress reports, reports to legislative bodies, annual reports that mention the use of the Software, as well as audit records, including but not limited to security audits of the software, misuse reports, and reports to oversight bodies.
* A copy of any validation studies conducted with respect to the program or with respect to any software or algorithms used in connection with the program, and a copy of any records pertaining to inquiries for the need of validation studies, or discussion of potential or actual validation studies. By “validation study,” I mean any study designed to assess how accurate the program is in predicting what it is supposed to predict, or to assess whether the program may err in the direction of either under- or overestimating likelihoods or predicted outcomes, or may produce any results that are biased or unexpected in any way.
* Any digital communications (including but not limited to emails and text messages) as well as documents, (including but not limited to PDF, word processing, excel, and slide documents) that make reference to the use of this camera-installation, GPS-tracking program in collaboration with Amazon.
* Any digital communications (including but not limited to emails and text messages) with Amazon or Amazon representatives.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. It will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE’s science and technology website (www.motherboard.vice.com).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Caroline Haskins

Hi there
A message was sent to you regarding record request #19-6358:
Hello:
I am following up with you regarding your Inspection of Public Records Act (“IPRA”) request submitted on September 19, 2019 (identified as # 19-6358).
It appears that you no longer desire to inspect these records. If that is the case then please send my office a written communication through Next Request #19-6358 and indicate that you no longer wish to inspect these records and you also wish to have this request closed. If you are no longer interested in reviewing the public records, then we hope you are willing to extend that courtesy.
Please contact my office should you wish to set up an inspection. There is no cost to inspect the records in person. If you are unable or unwilling to inspect in person, or if you would prefer copies of the non-exempt responsive records – then under the law the City “may require advance payment of the fees before making copies of public records.” NMSA 1978, § 14-2-9(C)(5). Prior to copying and mailing the records, my office will require advance payment of the copying fees ($0.50 per page) as well as the costs associated with mailing the set of documents to you. See NMSA 1978, § 14-2-9(C)(4) (“may charge the actual costs associated with transmitting copies of public records by mail”).
Please respond to my office within two (2) days of this communication. If you do not response to this communication within that time and if you fail to come in to inspect the records within the next two (2) days then my office will be forced to close out your request. Even though your inactions may force my office to close this request, you are always welcome to resubmit a new request in the future. We hope you understand the predicament your inactions have placed us, we only have a finite amount of time and resources and it would be a disservice to the Citizens of Albuquerque to spend it on a request where the requester has failed to response to our communications and also failed to inspect the records made available.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Nyvia Barraza
APD Records Custodian/IPRA Supervisor
