UCPD and Gentec (University of California, Berkeley)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the California Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Documents concerning communication and contracts between the University of California, Berkeley Police Department (UCPD) and Genetec Inc. Please be sure include all information concerning UCPD's usage of Genetec Security Center and associated products.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. Citizens have a right to know how and why they are being monitored. Transparency on the behalf of law enforcement regarding surveillance technology may cool tempers and contribute to a more complete discussion of the balance of privacy and public safety.

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 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Zeke Medley
