To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Alabama Open Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

All metadata for Curtis Grave's text messages, instant messages, and chats where he was the sender or receipt on a government issued device sent between 1/1/2022 and 12/31/2022 including one of the following keywords: "ShotSpotter", "SST", or "Shot Spotter".

This request includes all group messages, and all messages in threads, in any form and any app (including, but not limited to, SMS, MMS, text, iMessage, Teams, Discord, WeChat, QQ, Signal, Zoom, Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Hangouts, Meet, Slack, Skype, Viber, Snapchat, Line, Kik, FaceTime, GroupMe but NOT including email), on any government accounts/devices or on personal accounts or devices regarding the conduct of public business.

The specific metadata data points I'm interested in are: all recipients, all senders, sent date/time, received date/time, subject line, and names of all attachments. This request does not seek the contents of the messages themselves, and only the specified message metadata. Please provide me with the records in an Excel format.

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. 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 business days.
