Re: NOTICEOFRESPONSETO FOIAREQUEST
REQUESTDATE: September 25, 2014
FOIAFILENO.:
14-4424
Dear Mr. Glawe:
The Chicago Police Department (" CPD") is in receipt of your Freedomof Information Act (" FOIA") req uest for
any and all investigative reports filed in 2013 and 2014 containing but not limited tothefollowing phrases":
Police involved shooting(s)"
Officer involved shooting( s)"
Your req uest was reviewed by the undersigned. It is determined that your req uest is unduly burdensome
pursuant toSection 5 ILCS140/ 3(g). To satisfy this req uest, it would req uire several steps. First, your req uest
would have to be forwarded once again tothe Department' s Research and Development Division to identify
responsive records. (
Just by looking at the publically available data published by the Independent Police
Review Authority, it is known that therewere six ty-one officer involved shootings in which an individual was hit
this number does donot include incidents where noone was hit.) Therefore, the number of incidents tobe
identified is higher than six ty-one. It is estimated that it would be over 100 incidents. Second, once the
responsive reports are identified, the investigative reports for each incident would have to be pulled and
copied. Third, the status ofthe internal administrative investigation would have to be determined toidentify if
files can be disclosed. Fourth, the investigative reports would have to reviewed, redacted and recopied. For
your information, investigative reports related toofficer involved shootings arevery likely toconsist ofwell over
100 pages.
The CPD has reviewed and redacted these types of files in the past, and estimates it takes a minimumof 16
hourstoproperly redact approx imately 50 to150 pages ofthesedocuments. In addition, these redactions may
only be done by individuals with knowledgeand ex perience with police files.
Therefore, at a minimum 50,000 pages would " req uire ex amination and evaluation by personnel having the
necessary competence and discretion todetermine ifthey are ex empt fromdisclosure under Section 7 ofthe
Freedomof Information Act or should be revealed only withappropriate deletions," in accordancewiththeAct.
For the reasons stated above, it would be unduly burdensome to conduct this review. Therefore, it is
necessary
for your req uest tobe narrowed. Ifyouwould like assistance in narrowing your req uest, you may
contact me at (312) 745-5308, or by mail at thefollowing address:
Emergency and TTY: 9-)- 1 Non Emergency and' MY:( within city limits) 3- I- I Non Emergency and TTY:( outsidecity limits)( 312) 746- 6000

ChicagoPoliceDepartment
Attn: FreedomofInformation Officer
Records Inq uiry Section, Unit 163
3510 S. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL60653
Therefore, as your FOIA req uest is currently written, the dedication of staff and/ or resources is unduly
burdensome on the daily operations ofthe Department pursuant tosection 5 ILCS 140/ 3(g) ofthe Act. If you
decide to narrow your req uest, you must submit a revised req uest tothe undersigned by mail tothe above
address. Please be sure toreference your FOIA File number of 14-4424 in order toavoid any duplication of
work or miscommunication.
The CPD will take no further action or send you any further correspondence unless and until your current
req uest is narrowed in writing. If wedonot receive your revised req uest within thirty ( 30) calendar days of the
date of this letter, your current req uest will result in a denial under Section 5 ILLS 140/ 3(
g).
In the case of a
denial, youhave a right to have the denial reviewed by the Public Access Counselor ( PAC) at the Office ofthe
Illinois Attorney General. 5 ILCS 140/ 9.5( a). Youcan fileyour Req uest for Review with the PAC by writing to:

E-mail: publicaccess@atq .state. il. us
Ifyouchoosetofile a Req uest for Review with the PAC, you must dosowithin 60 calendar days ofthedateof
