From: Curtis Waltman

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Compilations of equipment or munitions to be used, after action reports, incident reports, Special Event Threat Assessment (SETA) Reports, and any other reports on the protests in regard to the executive order by Donald Trump freezing immigration from 7 Middle Eastern nations. These protests occurred January 28th 2017 and January 29th 2017. I would also request department Telex messages for the January 28th 2017 and January 29th 2017 protests. I would also like any written communications with the Governor's Office, Homeland Security, or the US Customs and Border Patrol during the aforementioned time frame.

As a member of the news media working for MuckRock News I request that a fee waiver for my request be granted. My work has been published by national outlets. My work for Motherboard can be viewed at the following link: http://motherboard.vice.com/author/cwaltman

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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Curtis Waltman

Greetings,

The items you requested is not applicable to our operations that day. The Atlanta Police Department had no prior planning for this protest...as it was fluid we only responded with the resources on hand. This consisted primarily of uniformed officers in standby mode to react to unruly protesters.

On this day the protesters acted in accordance with the law. No arrest were conducted.

You request may be better suited for the federal agencies assigned to the Atlanta airport.

Hi Sergeant Pickard,
Could I have the after action, or incident, or any other report generated, even still? And although I understand this is not necessarily part of your job, do you know the federal agencies that were present at the Atlanta airport? TSA and CBP? Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Curtis Waltman

Curtis,

APD did not generate any reports or documents related to this event...it was uneventful.

I have provided the Airport PIO contact. He may be helpful for the federal agencies.
