Missing Native Americans

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

Basic information on all cases (open and closed) of missing American Indian/Alaska Native persons (including juveniles) within Arizona, from 2000 through 2019; this basic information can include but is not limited to: person name, age, DOB, incident date, case closure date, county/jurisdiction in which person was reported missing.

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 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Sovereign Bodies Institute

Ms MacKenzie,

Can you please tell us which agency would have records responsive to this request? We would like to file a request with the most appropriate agency.

Thank you,
Annita

Ms MacKenzie,

This data request is for a national research project on how states respond to and track cases of missing Native Americans. We will report that the Arizona DPS does not have information on missing Native Americans within their jurisdiction readily available, cannot produce it, and cannot tell us which agency would be able to do so.

Thank you for your time,
Annita
