To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
All emails sent or received by all sworn and non-sworn staff sinceJanuary 1st 2025 that contain the keywords "tesla" and/or "cybertruck".
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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Mr. Reid:
The City is in receipt of your request. The request is very broad (all sworn and non-sworn APD staff’s emails for just two different words) and is likely going to pull in large amounts of emails that would be time-consuming and burdensome to review. Most of it will likely be exempt from disclosure, as many emails will touch on crime data and investigations.
Is there something more specific you are seeking? The more targeted the request, the more likely we will be able to find something, review it, and disclose it to you more quickly.
Please let me know.
Sincerely,
Doug McManaway
Assistant City Attorney

This request is primarily concerned with volume so you may limit it to email metadata consisting of:
- from address
- to address
- bcc address
- subject
- date
- time
From: Alameda Police Department
Hello,
We don’t have a way to extract only metadata for our emails. We can conduct keyword searches and then conduct a review of emails based on those results. Please provide additional guidance on how you want to narrow your request.
Best,
Doug McManaway
Assistant City Attorney
City of Alameda
