Mr. Mocek,

Thank you for your inquiry into the expected release date for the record you have requested. By way of clarification, you have requested the “Incident Commander Review’” a document that does not exist as named. However, based on your prior requests, we have interpreted your request to refer to the After Action Plan. We are in the process of reviewing and applying redactions to the document. Due to SPD’s involvement in the Chinese President’s visit, the Ride the Duck accident, and other recent events, it was determined that an additional three weeks was needed to complete the review for redactions. We estimate that the review should be completed by the due date we provided to you: October 16, 2015. We apologize for any confusion around the timing of the release of this report.

As soon as the requested document is ready for release, you will be notified.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Bonnie Voegele
Records Manager

Dear Mr. Mocek,

This letter is in response to your public disclosure request dated August 12, 2015 and received by the Seattle Police Department’s Public Disclosure Unit on August 12, 2015 for May Day 2015 Incident Commander's Review memorandum, along with associated metadata.

The Incident Command has not yet completed the final version of the May Day 2015 After Action Plan. Please find a draft copy of the requested document. As redactions were required, we have scanned the document in a searchable PDF format. As the file is too large to be sent in one email, I have broken it into two separate emails.

Redactions have been applied throughout the documents pursuant to RCW 42.56.10 and/or other statutes,

· Investigative Information: Record includes information non-disclosure of which is essential to effective law enforcement. (RCW 42.56.240(1) as defined by RCW 42.56.050. Explanation: Disclosure would jeopardize a criminal investigation/prosecution;

· Intelligence Information: Specific intelligence information which is essential to effective law enforcement is not disclosable. RCW 42.56.240(1). and/or RCW 43.43.856. Explanation: Disclosure would reveal law enforcement techniques, capabilities, limitations, and the extent of law enforcement knowledge which would jeopardize investigations/prosecutions and/or assist individuals in criminal activity.

· Computer/Telecom Passwords/Security/Internal-Use Only Phone Numbers: Information regarding the infrastructure and security of computer and telecommunications networks, consisting of security passwords, security access codes and programs, access codes for secure software applications, security and service recovery plans, security risk assessments, and security test results are exempt from disclosure pursuant to RCW 42.56.420(4). Explanation: Unauthorized access to the information could disrupt police operations, negatively affect police investigations, endanger citizens/law enforcement personnel, result in theft, fraud or other criminal activity, and expose law enforcement personnel to harassment.

We have not prepared a detailed exemption log for records because only limited information has been redacted from the responsive records. The information normally provided in an exemption log, such as title, author, recipient, subject, and number of pages, is readily ascertainable by looking at the redacted records.

Additional time is needed for the final version of this report to be completed. Therefore we anticipate our final response to you on or about October 31, 2015.
