To Whom It May Concern:
I am appealing my records request that was sent on July 2, 2019 relating to the Stockton Police Department's use and solicitation of facial recognition software. I do not believe that a reasonable search was conducted with regard to my request and would like for the search to be run again.
As stated in my last email, I am also looking for any communication regarding the potential implementation of facial recognition software. This includes any unsolicited proposals or marketing material from facial recognition companies to the Stockton Police Department.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Freddy Martinez

Hello Maryann,
The documents where not attached. I only received two letters titled "Martinez, Freddy - 20190724 - CPRA Request" and "Martinez, Freddy - 20190724 - CPRA Final Letter". The former was my original request and the latter was only one page. I'm not sure if I was supposed to receive another set of documents.
All the best,
Freddy Martinez
