Mr. Ciaramella:
While your original request was dated December 27, 2015, it was not sent to me as the MPD FOIA Officer or submitted via our online portal; accordingly, it was not properly submitted. Nevertheless, we accommodated you by processing the request when it was forwarded to us in February. The response to the request is not due until tomorrow. I anticipate that we will be exercising an extension in order to respond to the request.
Please note that Teresa Quon is no longer acting as the FOIA Officer.
