I received the request below asking for;

Copies of documents related to the application and status of the application to operate unmanned aerial vehicles otherwise referred to by the FAA as UAV or UAS submitted to any federal agencies, state authorities and any regulatory authorities in the past 3 calendar years. This request applies to any and all federal grants, Block grants or state and federal funds applications that have been submitted by the VSP in order to purchase, operate and deploy actively in the airspace over Vermont. Any unmanned UAV,UAS or equivalent equipment which may also be referred to as drones.

The Vermont State Police does not use any drone technology, therefore pursuant to 1 V.S.A. §318 (a)(4), we certify that the records do not exist in our files.
