Our policy, therefore, is to respond to FOIA requests from the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia and not to those residing outside of the Commonwealth. This departmental policy is not intended to deny you the information you have requested but rather, given the numerous in-state requests that we receive, allow us to comply with those requests that we are directed to do so by law.
