RE: FOIL REQUEST of August 08, 2023., Reference # C005626-080823.
Dear Vanessa Nason,
My name is Frank and I started in the role of deputy director of public information in late March.
I recently received a fax from a FOIL Officer within the Troy Police Department regarding this MuckRock FOIL case handled by one of my predecessors.
They provided me with responsive documents and while I am told the documents were made available at the time, I am making them available again. My apologies if you did not receive these documents when the request was originally filed.
