MPIA Request for IAD Records

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I am hereby requesting access to the records listed below and held by the Baltimore Police Department:

- A list of all District Action Teams (DAT) and District Detective Units (DDU) as of January 1, 2021 up until the date this request is fulfilled;
- The names of all officers assigned for any length of time to DAT and or DDU as of January 1, 2021 up until the date this request is fulfilled;
- The start date and, if applicable, end date of each officer's DAT and/or DDU assignment.

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. Alternatively, please consider waiving any fees, pursuant to § 4-206(e)(2)(ii) of the General Provisions Article, as this request is on behalf of individuals served by the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, a state government agency, which solely serves indigent citizens of Maryland. As a result, my request for the above-listed public records is in the public interest. 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,

Amelia McDonell-Parry
