Dear Jessica Hatcher:
Thank you for submitting an open records request to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Your request has been received and will be processed in the order received in accordance with the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, et seq. Your request was received in this office on 2/10/2025 and given the reference number R004493-021025 for tracking purposes. Records Requested: To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

1) All contracts, licenses, MOUs, MOAs, data agreements, letters of intent, State of Work documents, Scope of Work documents, and other agreement documents since Jan. 1, 2024 between the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Global Intelligence Inc. (also called Cybercheck or Cybercheck.AI) for the provision of the Cybercheck service (excluding any already undisclosed via previous FOIAs).

2) All email exchanges, including attachments, between Georgia Bureau of Investigation staff and email addresses with the domain "@cybercheck.ai" between Jan. 1, 2024 and the present (excluding any already undisclosed via previous FOIAs).

3) All email exchanges, including attachments, between Georgia Bureau of Investigation staff making reference to the tool Cybercheck and/or its provider Global Intelligence, sent between Jan. 1, 2023 and the present.

I kindly request that you waive all fees as I am a journalist and the requested records will be used for journalism in the public interest.

If you choose to impose fees, I request a detailed breakdown of the fees, including the hourly wage of each employee involved and an explanation of the employee hours required to fulfil the request.

If you choose to reject this request or redact portions of responsive documents, I ask that you provide a detailed breakdown of the statutory exemptions and associated case law underlying your decision to withhold each/any portions from public review.

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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jessica Hatcher
