Hello Chris,

This email is to acknowledge receipt of the below request. Beaverton Police Department is uncertain whether we possess the requested record(s). We will search for the record and make an appropriate response within 15 business days.

I have made inquiries with other departments and divisions in regards to your request. Due to the holiday, I may not have a preliminary answer until after the holiday. If we are in danger of going over our 15 business day deadline (Dec 7), I will let you know, and our next best estimation.

Thank you,

Michelle Berry
Interim Records Manager

Your welcome, enjoy your holiday as well!

Hello Chris,

I am unable to supply the public records you requested due to the fact that Beaverton Police Department does not own any unmanned air vehicle, nor has the department ever owned such vehicle, or entered into an agreement with another agency to use their drones.

Thank you,

Michelle Berry
Interim Records Manager
