Good afternoon.

I am writing to update you on the request you submitted to the Miami Police Dept.

MPD's IT Section conducted an email search based on the criteria you provided and found the following:

The search yielded a total of 1,149 e-mails (which may include duplicate e-mails or non-responsive e-mails to the exact request). Due to the voluminous nature of these e-mails we will need to charge a special service charge for the review and possible redactions of the e-mails prior to release to ensure compliance with Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, as amended.

Currently the rate to fulfill these requests is estimated at three (3) emails per minute. Accordingly, we estimate it will take 6.3 hours, at a rate of $39.36 to complete the review and fulfill the request. Thus, the estimated costs to produce is $247.96. Please be advised that this is an estimate and the cost is subject to change, as it may take less or more time to complete the review. Accordingly, we request a fifty (50%) percent deposit in the amount of $123.98 to begin review of the search results. Upon receiving the deposit, we will begin reviewing the results yielded from the IT Search. Please note that if the deposit is not remitted within thirty (30) calendar days, the request will be considered withdrawn and closed accordingly.

If you wish to proceed, let me know and I will request Records generate an invoice for you. Please note their invoicing system requires a billing address.
