Once we have identified the documents you requested, to the extent they exist, you will be notified.
Please be advised, that under the Freedom of Information laws of the State of Connecticut, the City of Hartford is not obligated to create a document that does not exist. This includes putting a document into electronic format when it exists only in hardcopy form.

Good Morning Mr. Waltman,
I continue to work on your FOI request dated May 2, 2017. In order to complete your request, I am awaiting records from other divisions. Before I can release those records, said records need to be reviewed and if need be, redacted in accordance with Connecticut General Statute 1-210(b).
Please be advised that the Freedom of Information Act requires that a request for records be acknowledged within four business days. Accordingly, your request was acknowledged within the aforesaid time period. The FOIA also requires that records be provided promptly. However, the Appellate Court has cautioned that there is no fixed period for determining whether a response is prompt. In previous Freedom of Information Commission decisions, in determining what is prompt, the Commission has been guided by such factors as the volume of records requested, the time and personnel required to comply with a request and the importance of the public of completing the other agency involved in complying with the request.
I am the only one currently working on HPD FOI requests full time, I continue to work on your requests, but I also have forty five (45) requests ahead of yours, as such I am unable to give you a specific date as to when your record will be available.
Should you have any questions, please forward your inquiry to Police.FOIA@hartford.gov<mailto:Police.FOIA@hartford.gov>.
Sincerely,
Detective Safia Rahman
