To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to RCW Ch. 42.56 (Public Records Act), I hereby request the following records:
Full and complete database of automatic vehicle location (AVL) data in its native electronic format, with related metadata, including database schema.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Mr. Mocek,
This email is in follow up to your request for the "database of automatic vehicle location (AVL) data in its native electronic format, with related metadata, including database schema". We have learned from our property management unit (PMU) that the Sheriff's Office does not have any sort of tracking device in our vehicles and does not maintain any sort of AVL database.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Thank you again for your patience while we processed your request.
