I still believe I am due records. For example, there is an attached policy but no vendor contracts which we requested. It seems unlikely that Albuquerque Police would create a policy directive for a technology that they are not using. Can you clarify that this request is actually fulfilled? It does not appear to be.

Albuquerque Police,
We can consider this matter closed. I received your follow up documentation that answers my questions.
All the best,
Freddy Martinez
From: Albuquerque Police Department
Mr. Martinez:
Thank you for your response. We apologize for the oversight regarding the communications. Based on our supplemental production in this matter, would you consider withdrawing the complaint you filed with the Attorney General? As it appears this is resolved, we would like to devote our limited resources to responding to other IPRA requests rather than further adjudication of this matter with the Attorney General.
Sincerely,
Ethan Watson
Acting City Clerk
From: Freddy Martinez
Hi Ethan,
Yes I will attempt to contact them to close the matter with their office.
Freddy
From: Albuquerque Police Department
Mr. Martinez:
Were you able to withdraw your complaint?
Thanks,
Ethan Watson

Hi Ethan,
I hadalready emailed the AG and they have confirmed we withdrew it. Did they not send the same to your office?
Freddy
From: Albuquerque Police Department
Hi Freddy:
They did not let me know that but they may have sent it to our legal department rather than my office. Thank you, however, for letting me know.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly in the future if you have any issues.
