To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
- Any and all training materials related to the use of GangNET
GangNet is a Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) system acquired by ATF. The GangNET system is a user friendly browser-based investigation, analytical and statistical resource for recording and tracking gangs, gang members and their activities. GangNet provides gang/gang members/gang incident tracking, and also provides for gang intelligence analysis to discern trends, relation ships, patterns and gang demographics. GangNet uses dropdowns, partial word name searching, calendar controls, drilldown forms, wildcards etc. to make entering and retrieving useful information easy. The GangNet system is an information sharing application that operates in a network environment and can be can be connected to multi-agencies GangNet applications and multi- location
While GangNET records are SBU/FOUO/LES, training materials should not be (historically, training materials have been released through FOIA often). I request fees be waived for this request, as it's in the public interest. Understanding how agents are trained to use GangNET helps educate the public about how their government functions.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Michael Quinn

Good morning,
We are in receipt of your recent inquiry dated January 30, 2021 regarding the status of your pending Freedom of Information/Privacy Act request.
Due to the large number of requests received by DEA for disclosure of records pursuant to the Acts, and due to the limited resources available to process such requests, DEA has adopted a "first-in, first-out" practice of processing all incoming requests. This policy complies with the decision in Open America v. Watergate Special Prosecution Force, 547 F.2d 605, (D.C. Cir. 1976), citing 5 U.S.C. 552 (a)(6)(C) and is applied consistently by DEA.
We apologize for the delay in responding to your request. DEA is among the top six of all Department of Justice components that receives the largest number of FOIA requests per year. DEA received 1,622 requests in Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 and 1,248 requests in FY 2020, and we have limited personnel resources to process such requests. See Department of Justice Annual FOIA Reports available at https://www.justice.gov/oip/reports-1. Your patience is appreciated.
Respectfully,
Aneris Kent
