CT 1033 Program Compliance Reviews

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), I hereby request the following records:

Documents included in Connecticut's Program Compliance Reviews for excess DOD personal property, as outlined in the "State Plan of Operation Between The State of Connecticut and the Connecticut Law Enforcement Agencies," Section VI - 'Program Compliance Reviews', § A:

"The State internal review will include, at minimum:
(a) A review of each selected LEAs LESO Program Files.

(b) A review of the signed State Plan of Operation.

(c) A review of the LEA application and screener(s) letter.

(d) A physical inventory and/or approved custody card verification of LESO Program property at each selected LEA.

(e) A review of property accountability procedures to include the following criteria;
(1) The proper security and storage of assets. (Secure controlled area with limited access).
(2) Asset tracking and sign out procedures in place for LESO assets.
(3) Prior approval of any transfer of high visibility assets.
(4) Reporting of all lost, missing or stolen assets.
(5) Identification of all unused property

(f) A specific review of each selected LEAs files for the following: DD Form 1348-1A for each item currently on inventory, weapons documentation, transfer documents, turn-in documents, inventory adjustment documents, exception to policy letters (if any), approved cannibalization requests (if any) and other pertinent documentation as required."

I also request that, if possible and pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-212(d), fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest and not made for commercial gain. The requested documents will be processed by a representative of the news media/press and made available to the public at MuckRock.com.

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 4 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Daniel Welch

Hello Mr. Lewis,

Thanks so much for assisting me with this request. I had one question about page eight of the document though: the first paragraph seems to be a list that includes items five through eight, but items one through four don't appear on the previous page or elsewhere in the compliance review. Is there any chance part of the page got cut off?

Thanks for your help,
Daniel Welch

Great! Thanks so much.

Best,
Daniel Welch
