Requesting: The Following Records for Every Sworn Officer
and Civilian Member of the Maryland State Police for Fiscal Year 2022:1.
First and last name2. Unique sequence number3. Race4. Gender5. Hire date6.
2022 salary7. 2022 overtime*

Dear Requester:

On March 21, 2023, the Maryland State Police received your request made
under the Public Information Act (Annotated Code of Maryland, General
Provisions Article §§ 4-101 through 4-601) for the information captioned
above.

I am writing to advise that it will take us more than 10 working days to
produce the requested records. The delay is due to the time required to
perform a thorough search of our records and to conduct the necessary
review process. Once all of the records have been collected, they must be
reviewed to determine whether they are, in whole or in part, exempt from
disclosure under the Act. If any are to be withheld or redacted, an
explanation will be provided. If there is a fee associated with the
processing of the request, you will receive an itemized invoice.

We believe that we will be able to respond to your request within 30 days
of the date it was received.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns
regarding your request.

Sincerely,

Sara Rinta
Public Information Act Coordinator

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the
following records for every sworn officer and civilian member of the
Maryland State Police for fiscal year 2022:
1. First and last name;
2. Unique sequence number;
3. Race;
4. Gender;

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. Alternatively,
please consider waiving any fees, pursuant to § 4-206(e)(2)(ii) of the
General Provisions Article, as this request is on behalf of individuals
served by the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, a state government
agency, which solely serves indigent citizens of Maryland. As a result, my
request for the above-listed public records is in the public interest. 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 calendar
days, as the statute requires.
