To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act ("APRA"), I hereby request the following records:
Any and all documents, policies, memos, and complaints concerning female police officers and job-mandated gynecological examinations prior or post-hire.
This is an issue that has been widely reported on: https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/a3eb55/female-recruits-ffirorced-to-undergo-vaginal-exams-by-nebraska-state-patrol-lawsuit-claims
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.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Fernandez

Hi Cynthia - looks like something about your email client or process is causing an override of the reply-to address and your emails are coming to NextRequest's technical support instead of to the agency that is processing your request. I would recommend logging into Rhode Island's portal (https://providenceri.nextrequest.com/) to check the status of your request and send a message to the agency. Hope this helps!

Hi Cynthia,
It appears as though the reply-to address continues to be overridden, so my suggestion in your case is to log into Provedence's portal (https://providenceri.nextrequest.com/) and send a message to the agency about the status of your request.
Hope this helps!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I received the below communication from NextRequest regarding Request 17-603.
Please log into your account to access the response the City provided.
As a courtesy, the response provided was as follows:
The City of Providence does not maintain documents responsive to this request.
In accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-8, you may wish to appeal this decision to the Chief Administrative Officer. In this instance, Steven M. Paré, Commissioner of Public Safety, fulfills that role. You may also wish to file a complaint with the Department of the Attorney General or the Rhode Island Superior Court.
Thank you.
