Communications
From: Dell Cameron
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to North Carolina Public Records Law (G.S. §§ 132-1 through 132-10), I hereby request the following documents:
All communications records (emails) sent to or received by the Cary Police Department (hereafter "Cary PD") from the International Association of Crime Analysts (hereafter "IACA") mailing list between the following sets of dates: Jan. 1, 2014 - Dec. 16, 2016.
I request that you include in your search all mentions of IACA, including emails received by or sent to the email address: "iacalist@iaca.net"
Previous records released by your department in response to a public records request show that on July 15, 2014, a Cary PD employee named Elise Pierce (Crime Analyst II) was subscribed to IACA. During an email exchange with Jason Schiess, Analytical Services Manager at the Durham Police Department, Pierce wrote: “I noticed recently that you were soliciting feedback on IACA…”
IACA is an international mailing list for the discussion of crime analysis. On its website, IACA states that "not all subscribers are members of law enforcement agencies," and law enforcement officials using the list are advised against sharing "sensitive or confidential information over the list." It must be concluded, therefore, that any information transmitted by Cary PD through the IACA mailing list has already been circulated outside of the United States and among members of the public who are not law enforcement professionals.
As I am submitting this request in my capacity as a professional investigative reporter, I ask you waive all applicable fees associated with the search, review and duplication of any responsive records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. 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 would request your response within ten (10) business days.
Sincerely,
Dell Cameron
From: Ken Davis
