Multi Request 2021 United States Capitol attack and other 'protests'
Est. Completion None
Status
Fix Required

From: Emma Best

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

Records regarding the potential for violence, unrest, criminal activities or other disturbances associated with protests or other activities on either January 5 or January 6, 2021 at local, regional or national events. This request includes but is not limited to inter-departmental communications, situational reports, bulletins and other documents.

I am a member of the news media and request classification as such. I have previously written about the government and its activities, with some reaching over 100,000 readers in outlets such as Gizmodo, MuckRock, Motherboard, Property of the People, Unicorn Riot, and The Outline, among others. As such, as I have a reasonable expectation of publication and my editorial and writing skills are well established. In addition, I discuss and comment on the files online and make them available through non-profits such as the library Internet Archive and the journalist non-profit MuckRock, disseminating them to a large audience. While my research is not limited to this, a great deal of it, including this, focuses on the activities and attitudes of the government itself. As such, it is not necessary for me to demonstrate the relevance of this particular subject in advance.

As my primary purpose is to inform about government activities by reporting on it and making the raw data available, I request that fees be waived.

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.

Sincerely,

Emma North-Best

From: Phoenix Police Department

Good afternoon,

Your request is overly broad. We do have a public-facing web application that contains many fields to narrow your search. From the list of incidents you can make a request for a specific incident report and/or digital media item.

City of Phoenix Open Data
There is citywide incident‐level data that is available for public use provided on our City of Phoenix open
data portal: https://www.phoenixopendata.com/ The police datasets are available under 'Public Safety'. This
is a public site; therefore, addresses are anonymized and displayed in hundred‐block format.

We also have our Police Transparency site Police Transparency<https://www.phoenix.gov/police/transparency> that might be helpful as well.
