From: Newark Police Department
Mr. Gregg,
Thank you for your 2/12 FOIA request. The NPD has no unmanned aerial vehicles and no specific agreements outside of general mutual aid agreements between municipalities to use UAVs. Therefore, the City has no documents that would be responsive to your request. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. With this email, your request is considered closed.
