Your File #: Dear Sir or Madam:

This is in response to your request received by this office on January 18, 2019 in which you requested access to certain records under the New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).

Your request has been assigned to Sergeant Wong (646-610-6439) of this office.

I estimate that this review will be completed, and a determination issued on January 30, 2019.

This is not a denial of the records you requested. Should your request be denied in whole or in part, you will then be advised in writing of the reason for any denial, and the name and address of the Records Access Appeals Officer.
Very truly yours,

This is in response to your request received by this office on January 18, 2019 in which you requested access to certain records under the New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).

Please be advised that this office requires additional time to determine your request. This office receives a very large number of FOIL requests. We make every effort to process FOIL requests as expeditiously as possible, in the order in which they are received.

Your request has been assigned to Sergeant Wong (646-610-6439). I estimate that the processing of your request will be completed by January 25, 2019. The estimated time required to determine your request is based on the following factor(s):

Record(s) are located in several locations and are difficult to search or locate.
Records are archived and are difficult to locate and retrieve.
Numerous records must be reviewed in order to determine whether disclosure is required.
Record(s) have not yet been received from other NYPD unit(s).
