Dear Chris Gelardi:
This will acknowledge receipt of your request for records under the Freedom of Information Law received by New York State Police on March 17, 2022. The request was for "NYSIC Social Media Analysis".
Your request has been forwarded to the appropriate program area(s) to identify documents that are responsive to your request and which may be made available pursuant to all applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Law.
A determination as to whether your request is granted or denied will be reached by approximately May 19, 2022 or we will notify you in writing if the responsible program area(s) should require additional time to locate, assemble and review documents that may be responsive to your request.
Please note that, pursuant to Article 6 of the Public Officers Law, a charge may be applied to your request, including the actual cost of the medium used to respond to your Freedom of Information Law request and/or other related costs. When responsive records have been identified, you will be informed of any cost and how payment should be made.
PLEASE NOTE: **
As we have acknowledged your request, please refrain from submitting duplicate requests for the same records through OPEN FOIL. Submitting a duplicate request takes time away from processing the hundreds of requests received each month.

Please see the attached correspondence pertaining to your request for copies of records from the New York State Police.

From: Chris Gelardi

The letter fulfilling request NYSP-22-03-1582 justified redactions to the "Permissible Use of Social Media Policies" section of the New York State Intelligence Center's social media policy by claiming that "release of the information would reveal non-routine criminal investigative techniques and procedures (see Public Officers Law ยง 87(2)(e)(iv))." However, the four-page document outlines the most basic parameters of NYSIC's use of social media in its policing work, and thus all of the policies in the document are, by definition, "routine."

Thus I request an unredacted version of NYSIC's social media policy.

Thank you for your consideration.

From: New York State Police
