NYPD travel documents Madrid bombing

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

All travel/leave approvals and invoices/reimbursements for NYPD officer(s) that traveled to Madrid in March 2004 following the subway bombings.

Attached please find documentation of at least one NYPD detective traveling to Madrid as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), which was obtained by FOIA from the FBI.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Shawn Musgrave

Mr. David:

I hereby appeal the adequacy of the search for 2013-PL-8227. As I provided in my initial request, attached please find documents from the FBI indicating that NYPD liaisons were dispatched to Madrid following the 2004 subway bombing. The FOIL Unit provided no substantiation as to why it was unable to locate documents responsive to this request.

Please remand this request back to the FOIL Unit for appropriate processing.

Respectfully,

Shawn Musgrave
