At this time, the Seattle Police Department’s Legal Unit is operating under an extreme backlog of requests, staffing shortages, the redeployment of supporting units to SPD’s frontline COVID-19 response, and, pursuant to CDC recommendations and City direction, reassignment to remote access. For these reasons, our ability to process new requests is substantially limited; we are currently estimating minimum response timelines, depending on the volume and complexity of requests, in excess of 6-12 months. Current requests should likewise anticipate that it will take additional time to process records and respond. We apologize for any inconvenience, and deeply appreciate your understanding as we all pull together, in the face of this unprecedented, pandemic public crisis, to manage as best we can our business operations.

The request has been rejected by the agency.

From: Nikky Southerland

I appeal this decision. When I initially went to pay for this request via your portal on 12/29/2021, I was informed that the payment was "past due" and unable to pay it, despite the invoice being only two weeks old. At that point, I initiated a check payment via this website on 12/29/2021. This is a payment method that I had previously used for this very request, which had been processed successfully. The check was processed for delivery on 01/05/2022 by USPS: well before the 30-day deadline.

Please process my timely payment and release the records, as well as continue processing this request.

Dear Nikky Southerland,

Dear Ms. Southerland,
I have looked into your request and your request has not been closed but do see that the status is set as closed/failed to pay.
It appears your check was received and sent back to you on 1/12/2022 since the system displayed a closed/failed to pay status on the request. I have re-opened the invoice and it is available for online payment.
If you have any further issues with making a online payment, please let me know and I will look into it further.
Once payment has been received, we will release your records.
Thank you,

Dear Nikky Southerland,

Good afternoon,

Our public disclosure request platform, GovQA, is experiencing technical difficulties and we have been unable to upload attachments/records for release. GovQA had been notified of this issue on Friday 12/09/20022 and has assured us that they are actively working towards solving the issue.

We anticipate a fix in the near future, and we will upload the records as soon as possible. That being said, we typically try to release records within 2 business days after receiving payment. I wanted to reach out to let you know that if you'd like, I can have the records available to pick up at SPD Headquarters on 5th Ave or I can mail the records to you by the end of this week. If I do not hear from you by Thursday, 12/15/22 (or the issue has been resolved by then), I will plan on uploading the records ASAP and notifying you when they are available to download.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

-Mack. Boileau

RE: Public Disclosure Request#: P064472-092320

Dear Nikky Southerland,

The Seattle Police Department is responding in periodic installments and will continue with the following: Hello Nikky, The 6th installment of records is ready for release. This installment includes additional emails responsive to  your request. As a reminder, we had conducted a search for responsive emails with the following search parameters:
Mailboxes searched: all SPD mailboxes
Keywords searched: "Tac 9" OR "Tactical 9" OR "Tac Nine" OR "Tactical Nine" OR "Encrypt" OR "Encrypted" OR "Encryption" OR "45136"
Dates searched: 1/01/2020 - 9/22/2020
This search resulted in approximately 48,520 responsive emails. We estimate that on average, we can review 100 emails in 1 hour and we can devote around 1 hour a week to a request (depending the current workload of the unit). With that, it will take at least 10 years to complete your public disclosure request.
Please let us know if you would like to adjust the search parameters to best provide you with the records you are seeking. Otherwise, we will continue to review and provide records with the search terms above and will provide the next installment of records to you by 05/12/2023. Thank you! -MB

Dear Nikky Southerland,

This communication is in response to your public disclosure request received on September 23, 2020.

Thank you,
