Ms. Crose,

Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to provide you with a detailed status update as the FOIAOnline system is down for maintenance. However, from the information I have from last week's report, the US Park Police (USPP) had 618 open requests. However, since your request has been assigned to the USPP for processing, I recommend you contact them directly at USPP_FOIA@nps.gov to request an update.

Sincerely,

C.
