In your request, dated October 31, 2016, you asked for copies of the following records:

This office contacted the following offices within the Department: Information Management Division and the Computer Crimes Investigation Unit thereof, Enforcement and Planning Division, and Protective Services Division. Department personnel from these offices did not have any knowledge or evidence of the Department using IMSI catchers or Stingray technology. Therefore, after a diligent search and reasonable inquiry, the Department has determined that it does not possess any public records that are responsive to your request.
If you have any questions relating to this correspondence, please contact this office.
