Dear City of Santa Ana staff,
Thank you very much for your response to my Public Records Act request for purchase and deployment records of certain equipment used by the Santa Ana PD. I appreciate it.
Your response included purchase records, but did not respond to nor state whether you had conducted a search for records of deployment, which was part #3 of my request, as follows:
3. Records of deployment by your agency since January 1, 2020 of projectile launch platforms, such as 40mm projectile launchers, "bean bag" or specialty impact munition ("SIM") weapons, and "riot guns" used to disperse chemical agents; explosives and pyrotechnics, such as "flashbang" grenades and explosive breaching tools; and chemical weapons such as "teargas" and "pepper balls".
Can you let me know whether you conducted a search for these records and if so, what was the outcome?
Thank you and best,
John Lindsay-Poland

Hello, I am following up about an unresolved Public Records Act request. The request is #21-2082 and it looks like the request may have been incorrectly labelled as "Complete". Would you be the right person to speak with about this? Our previous message (from January 5) is below.
Thanks very much for you help.
