Dear Mr. Purvis:
I attempted to email you on September 26, 2013, but received an error message. In response to your FOIA request for copies of recordings and ShotSpotter reports for all ShotSpotter activations in Northeast D.C. for the month of March 2013, I am attaching a report from ShotSpotter of the shots fired and detected by Shotspotter from 2006 to 2013. Although not exactly what you requested, I would ask that you review the document and see if this is adequate for your needs.
If you would still like the data that you originally requested, please be aware that each of the reports must be individually generated and may require more time. In addition, the FOIA Office is experiencing some delays because of the volume of its work.
Please respond as to how you wish us to proceed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your patience.
