Communications
From: Curtis Waltman
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Mississippi's Public Records Act, I hereby request the following documents:
Any records of communication from Biloxi Police Department with Killology Research Group LLC and/or The Grossman Academy. The Grossman Academy is part of the V-Academy corporate alliance, issuing virtual reality training to law enforcement. I would also like any promotional materials given to the department, and if training was sought from either of these law enforcement training companies, then I would like a copy of any contract and any reports that were generated from the program. If Dave Grossman or his companies discussed in any way with the department what the topic or a class or seminar would be, please include that in your response. If any recordings or any newsletters were sent referencing these companies, please include them as well. Please conduct the search from 1/1/13 and the date this request is processed on.
As a member of the news media working for MuckRock News I request that a fee waiver for my request be granted. My work has also been published by national outlets. My work for Motherboard can be viewed at the following link: http://motherboard.vice.com/author/cwaltman
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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Curtis Waltman

From: Catherine McMahan
The document must be signed and a category on the left hand side where you
will see "Manner of Compliance" must be selected.
As far as your description, you can place on there "see attached" as the
Subject matter. Since all of that will not print out, due to the length of
the description, I can print out the previous email reflecting the content
of your request.
Sorry for any confusion.
From: MuckRock
I attempted to sign by typing, but the input did not seem to be going through. Additionally I do not have a fax machine. I am not sure what else to do other than inform you that you do have my consent for the request, and I, Curtis Waltman, a reporter for MuckRock News, am the person making the request. Thank you for the print out, and heads up about the manner of compliance I appreciate it very much. I apologize again for not being able to sign, I am not entirely sure what to do about that. Thanks again.
Best,
Curtis Waltman

Hello,
I hate having to do this but I haven't received those documents yet and it seems that they should have arrived after three weeks. I am assuming they must be lost in the mail at this point. Would you mind sending them again? I would be very grateful. The address is as follows: 411A Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA 02144. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Curtis Waltman
