RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of May 02, 2024., Reference # W014428-050224.

Dear Caroline Haskins,
To the extent records exist responsive to the first two parts of your request, they are exempt from public disclosure in accordance with s. 119.071(2)(d), F.S. (surveillance records) and s. 1004.0962, F.S. (campus emergency response records).
Regarding the third part of your request, the university does not have an agreement between university police and Gainesville City police that was executed on or after October 7, 2023.
This completes the public records request.
