To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
(1) I request a log of all public records requests submitted to the police department between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. If a log is not available for those dates, I request a log for the most recent 12 month period available. If the agency maintains this information in an Excel spreadsheet, I request that the record be produced in this format. If the agency maintains this log in a way that reflects whether a request was rejected and/or whether any exemptions were invoked, I request that the log produced to me include that information.
(2) Any records that reflect the number of public records responses in which the agency invoked IN Code § 5-14-3-4.4(a)(2) (permitting the agency to "refuse to confirm or deny the existence of the record").
(3) Any policy documents, instructional manuals, etc. that provide advice or instruction as to when the agency is permitted to invoke IN Code § 5-14-3-4.4(a)(2).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. 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 look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Christina Koningisor

Thank you for your interest in public records of the City of Indianapolis and Marion County.
This message acknowledges your request has been received and is being processed in accordance with the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, Indiana Code chapter 5-14-3-1, et. seq ("APRA"). Your request was received in this office on 4/6/2021 and given the reference number P013932-040621 for tracking purposes.
You requested the following records: "To Whom It May Concern:

Your request will be forwarded to the relevant city or county agency for review and a determination of whether there are public records responsive to your request and, if so, whether those public records are disclosable to you. The city or county agency will contact you concerning your request and inform you whether there are public records responsive to your request, if all or part of those public records are not disclosable to you, and the statutory basis for any denial. Information pertaining to any copying fees that may be related to obtaining copies will be provided. Please Note: With respect to public records requests that include e-mail communications, we want to make you aware that these requests generally take longer than requests for other types of information. First, the City/County receives a large number of requests for email communications, not just public records requests but also related to legal proceedings. We rely upon our information technology agency to perform these searches and that agency runs these searches (based upon reasonably particular search terms as set forth by the State Public Access Counselor) in the order in which the requests are received. Once the email search is completed, there must also be a review of the content of the email communications to ensure that they are not only responsive to your request but also disclosable. Finally, disclosable email communications will be produced after this review and if we do not disclose all or part of these email communications, we will provide the statutory bases for such denials as required under the APRA.
The APRA requires public agencies to produce responsive and disclosable public records, should they exist, within a reasonable time based upon the circumstances. Please allow the agency time to review and process your request. Depending on the nature of the request, this may be several days.
If you have not received any response and at least 10 days have passed since submission, feel free to contact the Public Access Counselor to check the status. Additionally, if you have general questions about the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, please contact the Public Access Counselor at any time.
You may reach the Public Access Counselor at 317.327.4055 or PAC@indy.gov. (mailto:PAC@indy.gov)

Good morning,
I again thank you for your patience in this matter.
I have attached the responsive documents to your request. In regards to the records that invoked the listed Ind. Code, we have almost 3,000 requests being provided, that magnitude of a number does not make your request reasonably particular. Therefore, IMPD has nothing responsive to that aspect of your request.
Thank you,
