RE: my public records request of May 29, 2013 (your identifier: P2013-1709)
Dear Ms. Whitlach:
After discovering that that about five years ago, Seattle Police Department created an organization, Seattle Shield, consisting of SPD, local utilities, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and about 100 private businesses, I asked for the roster of members of this organization. I am very curious about what seems to be an off-books incident reporting system implemented by SPD, and it seems reasonable to start my investigation into this program with, "Who is involved?"
In response to my request more than four months ago for the list of Seattle Shield members, you have provided estimated dates of completion of July 8, August 9, September 13, October 4, and November 4. You have not once reported anything changing that resulted in your re-estimation of the time that you will require to complete this request. I am left wondering what caused such fantastically inaccurate estimates. I believe you are unnecessarily delaying processing of this request, pulling estimated dates out of thin air.
I believe you could walk over to the office of Tim Renihan or whoever administers Seattle Shield at this time, get an up-to-date membership roster, and be back to your desk ready to send a copy to me, in less than 15 minutes. How much time is spent each week processing my request?
Cordially,
Phil Mocek

Dear Ms. Whitlach:
Could you please tell me how much time is spent each week processing this request? I asked by e-mail on October 17, but you did not respond.
I don't understand how it can possibly take more than five months to locate and provide a list of Seattle Shield members. You have repeatedly re-estimated the time that will be required to fulfill my request, but you have never stated what is causing the delay and the repeatedly missed target dates. Please explain.
Cordially,
Phil Mocek
