Dear Joseph Cox,
Hello Mr. Cox -
This communication is in response to your public disclosure request received on May 14, 2021.
We do not have a record or the ability to readily create a record that contains the information you are seeking. The Public Record Act does not require us to perform research projects or develop data for information requests. RCW 42.56.080.
In an effort to locate records responsive to your request, we asked our Grants and Contracts Unit and our Fiscal Unit to search for MOUs, MOAs, NDAs, and contracts between SPD and Grayshift or Magnet Forensics. Both confirmed they had no responsive records.
Therefore, we have no records responsive to your request.
This message completes and closes your request.
Thank you,
Tara Collings
