I'm looking for a list of all permits issued by the Metropolitan Police Department for parades, marches, rallies, demonstrations, or protests to take place on 09/16/2017. For each permit, I would like logistical information including the event's name, location, date, and time, and the name of the applicant organization, in addition to any other relevant logistical information.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 15 business days, as the statute requires.
