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 Bladensburg Police Department:
- Copies of any and all internal affairs complaints, including internal, citizen, or other agency complaints of the following officers:
1. Michael Luciotti
2. Mahir Ayoub
- Complete investigative files for each complaint, including but not limited to reports of recorded statements, video surveillance or body camera footage, investigative files, witness interviews, and photographs.
- The investigative findings of each complaint.
- Any correspondence from the Police Accountability Board, Administrative Charging Committee, Civilian Review Board, Police Advisory Commission or other civilian police oversight board.
- The final disposition of each case, if any.
As with previous requests of this nature, we will accept disciplinary history summaries for all of the officers listed for the time being.
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 ยง 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,
Deborah Levi
Director of Special Litigation
Maryland Office of the Public Defender

Good morning,
I am writing to provide you with an update on your request. The scope of the task involves redacting documents and duplicating media onto disks, which is quite extensive. I have been diligently working on fulfilling your request, and it is anticipated to require a considerable amount of time to complete. Consequently, I would like to discuss the associated fee.
Given the substantial time investment required for this project, along with the considerable volume of copies and disk production, the associated fee will be significant. Before proceeding with the request, it is important to clarify that the expected fee will exceed $1,000, though an exact figure cannot be provided at this time. Additionally, please be aware that the items will need to be personally collected from our police department.
If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Greene
