To Whom It May Concern:
According to the Flock Safety website, Spring Branch ISD conducted a side-by-side comparison with of Flock Safety's Raven audio detection devices with a competitors tool. The site states, "While the school has had gunshot detection systems from another vendor, Baimbridge was not convinced they were the best choice. He agreed to a test of the Flock Safety Raven® audio detection devices, putting them next to the other vendor’s devices for a side-by-side comparison. In the first five days the Flock Safety Raven® devices identified three incidents of gunshots that the other vendor’s system did not detect. That early warning system, paired with LPR cameras could be key to preventing school violence, the chief said."
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records related to the side-by-side comparison of Flock Safety's Raven product and the other vendor's devices discussed on the website linked above:
1. Documents sufficient to show all meeting minutes, reports, slide decks, presentations, and work products related to the side-by-side comparison.
2. Documents sufficient to show all planning documents prepared before conducting the side-by-side comparison.
3. A copy of all data collected during the duration of the side-by-side comparison.
4. Documents sufficient to show all Spring Branch ISD and Flock Safety personnel who participated in planning, conducting, and analyzing the side-by-side comparison.
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 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
e
