Prince George's County, MD Police Drone Documents

Mr Musgrave,

We forwarded this email, and your original request to the Office of Law,
Mr Herry.

On background (off the record), PGPD does not own any drones, and to my
knowledge, does not plan to purchase/deploy them in the immediate future.

Mr Musgrave,

We sent your email to Mr Herry again. We do not have direct contact with
the Office of Law, and do not often get feedback on these requests.
Apologies for the apparent lack of communication, but we are not in a
position to obtain an answer. You will have to wait for a response from
the Office of Law.

Mr. Musgrave,

I just received your Maryland Public Information Act request earlier this week. Unfortunately, the requests were being sent to the wrong e-mail address for me. I have forwarded your request to the Police Department for processing under the Maryland Public Information. Thank you for your patience and I hope to get back to you soon.
