Hello,
We are in the processing of processing the request. While conducting the email search the results are very large and broad...is it possible to narrow down this search? Narrowing down this search would assist us in producing the results much sooner.

Hello Tara,
Please pardon this duplicate email. I am not sure if you received my previous email since I received a delivery failed message.
The Department's Public Records Unit and the Information Technology Section are requesting for you to consider narrowing the scope of your records request.
A preliminary search of the Department's databases identified over 115,000 results. Although some of the results may be duplication, it remains a voluminous request. A narrowed focus or detailed search would be helpful to complete your request much sooner.
Please advise if you can narrow the scope of your request.
Your request: All threat assessments, field reports, intelligence updates, emails, and email attachments, which mention the following terms or names: Prostitute Escort "Sex Work" or "Sex Worker" "Sex trafficking" or "Sex Trafficker" "Sex Buyer" “Commercial sex” "Sex Trade" or "Sex Industry" "Desiree Alliance" "Cris Sardina" This request has a date range of 1/1/2021 until the date this request is processed.

Mr. Garcia,
We cannot narrow the search terms or dates, but we are not asking you to redundantly search every single email account. We are looking for emails sent out from a main/"watchtower" account. Does that help? If there are any further questions please feel free to call me at 907-378-8909, anytime after noon in your time zone.
Thank you,

Hello Tara,
The search you outlined is too broad.
The Department's IT unit and the Public Records Unit needs to know what email addresses to target. For example, one of the key words is "sex work." Having an email or emails from you will help can narrow the search to 1-5 mailboxes, vs 4000.
Please reply all.
Thank you.
