To Whom It May Concern:

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

This is a follow-up to my previous request "Use of Drone Monitoring Software by the Massachusetts State Police". I looked up the RFR and PO for the purchase of the DJI Aeroscope G-8 Antennas and I am seeking clarification on the number of antenna's purchased by the department. The RFR stated that the the "price per each individual G-8 antenna is requested". However the quote from Gresco gives a price per "Aeroscope G-8 System". On their website Gresco says that the "G-8 incorporates a four-panel array of high gain directional antennas" and the DJI User guide for the G-8 says that each box comes with four antennas.

I would like to know if the Massachusetts State Police purchased eight separate Aeroscope G-8 Antennas or if they purchased eight Aeroscope G-8 Antenna "systems" for a total of 32 separate Aeroscope G-8 Antennas since this is not clear in the RFR and submitted PO.

Please find the RFR and Quote attached.

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 the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. 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.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

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, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ethan Hansen
