From: Laura Kiesel

I was very clear what data I am looking for, and this FOIA request was filed in the fall--months ago. I am asking for this data for the entirely that the Citizens Academy has existed (and it's unclear how long that is, but I am taking it, its probably less than 20 years old). I did file in the protal as well and there has been no response that I can find. I would like to again know:

In addition I am requesting:
- A full list of the officers and other faculty who have spoken at the Academy and/or participated in ride-alongs, broken down by year since its inception (I ESP am interested in knowing if Derek Chauvin ever served in faculty of the Citizens Academy or did ride-alongs, as well as any other officers present during George Floyd's murder)
- A breakdown of number of civilian attendees per year
- If available, any demographic information of attendees--gender, age, race/ethnicity, and income status--broken down by year
