To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
- All requests for facial recognition searches and associated reports made by local, county, state, or federal law enforcement. This can be in the form of email requests to individuals or agency email accounts, as well as requests submitted through a standardized form or web portal. Please limit the scope of this portion of the request to January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020.
- Any reports (weekly, monthly, annual, or otherwise), presentations, spreadsheets, or memoranda relating to, or referencing, the volume or efficacy of facial recognition searches. If this does not formally exist, I request this portion of the request be filled by usage log files exported from the agency’s facial recognition databases. Please limit the scope of this portion of the request to January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020.
- All training materials for the use of facial recognition technology.
- The privacy policy that governs this agencies’ use of facial recognition search tools. If there is no specific privacy policy for facial recognition, then I request any privacy policy for the use of biometric searches.
I am a member of the news media, and am requesting this information to disseminate it to the public. Transparent and ethical use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement is an important topic to the public, making this request newsworthy. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
Given my standing as a journalist and the scope of this request, I request a fee waiver and expedited processing of my request.
Please notify me if any portion of this request needs to be clarified. 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 USB drive 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,
Dave Gershgorn

Things are returning to normal in Michigan, Jasper County, Iowa is getting organized, and we have some big news.

FOIA & Public Records News
Masks Aren't The Only Thing Disappearing In Michigan (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8N04 ) - So are FOIA request extensions. Thanks to Governor Whitmer vetoing HB 4448, agencies are no longer able to extend public records requests made through the Michigan Freedom of Information Act. It’s a big step back toward normalcy in government transparency.
Every Day Will Be Picture Day (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8P04 ) - At least it is if you live in Federal Way, Washington. A few weeks ago, city council approved plans to start outfitting police officers with body cameras by January 1, 2022. The council hopes this will improve trust and transparency in the community.
Getting The House In Order (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8Q04 ) - Jasper County, Iowa recently established written guidelines for handling public records requests. Jasper County Attorney Scott Nicholson says he put the plan forward to try and reconcile the different processes that different agencies were using so that requesting records would become more streamlined across the board.

Big News: NextRequest has been acquired (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8R04 ) by our friends at ArchiveSocial. We’re still the same company, only things are about to get a whole lot better. By joining forces with ArchiveSocial, we can offer complete public records coordination, processing, and request management capabilities to empower and protect the unencumbered flow of public information.
Blog: To help the world get back to a new normal, the government created the American Recovery Plan Act. We've boiled the Act down (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8S04 ) to exactly what you need to know to get the funds that will help your agency get back up and running to the highest capacity.
Blog: Law enforcement agencies sometimes think they have to choose between and RMS system and a FOIA solution, but we think there is a major advantage to having both. Here’s why (https://iy.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/sc2/MmZ-8ykzWmxW5T_G2J8-T5GPW98htTj6b_qGzW2nrMZ_6nQGJSdBzP8T04 ) .
Just For Fun
We like to think of our joining forces with ArchiveSocial as building a bridge between two great companies. And while that bridge is completely metaphorical, do you know which U.S. city has the most actual bridges?
