Mr. O'Donnell -
Additional time is needed to process this request as you have asked for voluminous records dating back to 2010 which may be records in storage or archived. Any and all applicable records must be identified, collected and reviewed responsiveness. We anticipate that we will be able to provide records responsive to your request, if applicable, within a month. Please be assured that we will provide an update as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Wendy

Mr. O’Donnell –
The Department has reviewed your request and I have attached the responsive records. This includes Equitable Sharing records from 2014-2018, DATE has records from 2014-2018 and those are attached. In addition, SLEAF records after September of 2016 are attached. As a note, prior to September 26, 2016, SLEAF records were non-public record by statute. Therefore, DSHS denies the portion of your request for any documents submitted before September 26, 2016 pursuant to 29 Del. C. § 10002(l)(6), “[a]ny records specifically exempted from public disclosure by statute or common law.” SLEAF Documents dated after September 26, 2016 for DATE and DCP are attached per your request.
The Department considers your request closed.
Regards,
Wendy
