To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
Public reports state that this police department has partnered with Ring, Amazon’s home security company. (https://blog.ring.com/2019/08/28/working-together-for-safer-neighborhoods-introducing-the-neighbors-active-law-enforcement-map/) These partnerships involve an exchange: Law enforcement gets access to Ring’s “Law Enforcement Neighborhoods Portal.” The Law Enforcement Neighborhood Portal is a way that police can request Ring camera footage from people that use Neighbors, Ring has a "neighborhood watch" app.
Therefore, I hereby request the following records:
1) All instructional materials, presentations and presentation materials (including recorded video and audio, PowerPoint files, prepared remarks, and slides formats), and other guidance on the use of Ring devices and/or the Neighbors app. This includes A) any notes taken during meetings that discussed the use of Ring devices and/or the Neighbors app, B) any explanations (whether internally or externally generated) of how Ring devices and/or the Neighbors app work, and C) any other document that has been used to help explain the use of Ring devices and/or the Neighbors app to any party, including internal documentation, public relations materials, and executive summaries.
2) A copy of any privacy impact assessments, use policies, standard operating procedures, data retention policies, legal opinions, warranties, non-disclosure agreements, contracts, liability waivers, insurance agreements, Requests for Proposals, Responses to Requests for Proposal, Memorandums of Understanding, Letters of Interest, usage policies, or informal agreements between the police department and Ring.
3) A copy of any funding opportunity announcements, grant applications and grantor status/progress reports, reports to legislative bodies, annual reports that mention Ring or the Neighbors app, as well as audit records, including but not limited to security audits of the software, misuse reports, and reports to oversight bodies.

Hello,
I represent the City of Maricopa ("City"). In that capacity I have been reviewing documents relating to your public records request regarding Ring and the Neighbors application. I have compiled emails and documents pertinent to your request. However, I would like to speak with you regarding some of the contents of these documents. Certain emails contain video footage that may or may not be part of an ongoing investigation, which is not subject to disclosure. If your request is only for communications between Ring representatives and City employees, I can modify your request to exclude any communications that include video and have it produced promptly. If you would like the video footage, the police department will be required to review all footage to determine if it is pertaining to an ongoing investigation. This process may take a considerable amount of time, unfortunately.
If you would like to discuss this over the phone, please let me know.
Thank you,
