License Plate Reader Vendors (Wilmington Police Department)

Dear Jonathan Rudenberg ,
The Wilmington Department of Police is in receipt of your June 6, 2022 request for public record under the Delaware Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Your request states the following:

"To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Delaware Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

1) The name of any vendors or manufacturers that your department purchases license plate reader technology from. This may include but is not limited to cameras, software, or other technology to support automated reading of license plates in the areas your department serves.

2) The name of any vendors that your department partners with to install or perform maintenance on license plate reading technology (e.g., cameras and other software). These partners may also be known as integrators.

3) Where available, the contracts or purchase agreements with the vendors or parties included in the above two bullets.

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.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Rudenberg, a citizen of Delaware, in coordination with Chip McCoy. "

While, pursuant to McBurney v. Young, 569 U.S. 221 (2013), your request would be denied because you are not a Delaware citizen, the Wilmington Department of Police is not in possession of records responsive to this request.

Regards,
