Subject: Maine Freedom of Access Act Request: Public Records Log (Portland Police Department)

Mail

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Maine Freedom of Access Act, I hereby request the following records:

(1) I request a log of all public records requests submitted to the police department between January 1, 2020  and December 31, 2020. If a log is
not available for those dates, I request a log  for the most recent 12 month period available. If the agency maintains this information in  an Excel spreadsheet,
I request that the record be produced in this format. If the agency maintains a log reflecting whether a request was rejected and/or whether any exemptions were
invoked, I request that the log produced to me include that information.  
(2) Any records that reflect the number of public records responses in which the agency invoked 16 M.R.S.A. § 807.
(3) Any policy documents, instructional manuals, etc. that provide advice as to when the agency is permitted to invoke 16 M.R.S.A. § 807.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by 1 M.R.S.A. § 408(6). The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

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 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Christina Koningisor
