Inventory of All Non-Lethal and Less-Than-Lethal Directed-Energy Weapons Currently in Use

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

Please provide a comprehensive, all-inclusive, inventory of all Non-Lethal and Less-Than-Lethal Directed-Energy Weapons currently in use on the streets of Quincy, MA by the Quincy Police Department or/and by Joint Task Force personnel of any kind including any unit of the Military, through either classified or unclassified programs, through either Operational or Testing/Training programs, and authorized for use either locally or via State or Federal authorities.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. 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.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ramola Dharmaraj
