To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
1) Copies of all "Shotspotter Notification" reports filed by the Jacksonville Police Department with Shotspotter since January 1, 2021. These notification reports document instances in which JPD personnel have reached out to Shotspotter for support, perhaps because the system failed to detect a shooting or misclassified an incident. To assist with your search, I have attached two examples of these notification reports provided by the Chicago Police Department.
2) Copies of all Shotspotter responses to JPD notification reports filed since January 1, 2021. Examples of Shotspotter's responses to these reports can be found in the attached records provided by CPD.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist and intend to use the requested records to further the public's understanding of core government functions. I do not intend to use the records for any commercial purposes.
In the event you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employ involved and an explanation justifying the employee hours required to fulfill the request.
Should you choose to reject this request or redact portions of it, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.
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 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Todd Feathers
