From: Mobile Police Department

Hello,

The following request, PRR-2023-367, is pending with the MPD Legal Department. The admin working on this request has been copied to help advise on your inquiry.

From: Mobile Police Department

This request was closed by City Legal because the requestor didn't have a current photo id to prove his Alabama residency for the citizenship requirement. If he's remedied that issue, the request needs to go to the City Council if there are any contracts etc that exist. According to Kevin Levy, Commander of the Cyber Division, Operation Echo Stop is not a real program, i.e its only the name of the program which was funded with ARP money.
