To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Metadata of all emails which are sent to, from, including being CCed or BCCed by David Powell from January 1, 2022 to April 19, 2023 including one of the following keywords, "Sound Thinking", "SoundThinking", "ShotSpotter", "SafetySmart", "SST" or "Shot Spotter".
The specific metadata data points I'm interested in are: to address(es), from address, cc address(es), bcc address(es), sent date/time, received date/time, subject line, and if the email has an attachment. This request does not seek the contents of the emails themselves, and only the specified email metadata. Please provide me with the records in an Excel format.
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 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Kent Hoover, a citizen of Tennessee, in coordination with e.

Good afternoon,
I have received your request for records. Please complete the attached form and return it with a copy of the Tennessee driver's license of your requestor, Mr. Kent Hoover. Once that is received, I will proceed with your request.
Also, we do not provide electronic copies of records as we only accept payment in the form of cash or check. The records can be obtained in person or they can be mailed to a Tennessee address once payment is received.
Thanks,
