To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

For the years calendar years between 2012 and 2017, I am requesting a log of every search warrant executed in Chicago. Please consider the date of the request between between the start of the year January 1st to December 31st.

The records should be in the CLEAR database as described by CPD directive Special Order S04-19. I am seeking the location and Search warrant numbers from the CLEAR database. For example, if

"no arrest is made, the original Search Warrant and Complaint for Search Warrant will be returned to the proper court through the use of a Court Complaint Transmittal Listing. The returned warrant will be identified on the transmittal by entering the address of execution and the Search Warrant number (e.g., 2500 East Madison Street, Search Warrant Number SW12345)."

We are requesting the Search Warrant Number and the address of execution. Just to be clear, we are requesting both the search warrants when an arrest is made and when an arrest is not made.

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. Please be aware that this request is being made as a member of the press.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.

I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 days.

Sincerely,

Freddy Martinez

Dear Mr. Martinez:

I am in the process of trying to respond to your FOIA request. Although, the

response is late I was wondering if you would consider narrowing your request.

I have had difficulty trying to gather the data. Thank you for your consideration.

Perhaps one year might make it easier to gather.

Sincerely,

Cindy Lynch
Freedom of Information Officer
Chicago Police Department

Hi Cindy,

I am ambivalent about narrowing my search because it is my understanding that records may be stored electronically in CLEAR. However, I am willing to narrow the search if that helps us get records faster. Is it possible to call you tomorrow to discuss?

Best,
Freddy Martinez
