Sent: Monday, August 31, 2020, 01:14:46 AM CDT
Subject: my 8-30-20 PIR re: APD communications with private security-patrol peace officers at my current apt. complex

August 31, 2020

From: John Kevin McMillan, public-information requestor.
My solo-occupancy (myself, only), always-fully-bolt-locked-and-fully-locked efficiency apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019:
Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive, Apt. 2418, Building 17, Austin, TX 78753.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
Cell phone: (512) 993-7305.

A respectful FYI to each of you government officials and civic leaders on the following (below) most recent public-information request of mine to the Austin (TX) Police Department (APD), which I submitted online at 10:44 p.m. Sunday, August 30, 2020, at the official City Government of Austin website.
Farther below are computer-generated automated-message immediate polite acknowledgements of this public-information request that I have received----both online (next-to-last item, below) and through an e-mail letter to me (final item, below)--- from the Austin Police Department.

The exactly quoted text of my August 30 online public-information request to APD:

"I am seeking a copy of any and all written communications, including e-mail communications, that meet all three of the following three criteria:
"---they referred in any manner to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, or to Apartment 2418 in Building 17 at Pebble Creek Apartments, 8805 North Plaza Drive in Austin;
"---they specifically occurred or were generated at any time between noon June 21, 2019, and the present; and
"---they occurred between an officer or official or staff member of the Austin Police Department and a certified peace officer employed by Amerishield Security Group, LLC, or a certified peace officer employed by Statewide Patrol, Inc.

"Statewide Patrol reportedly began providing security services for all residents of my entire current apartment complex, Pebble Creek Apartments, on November 1, 2019. The most recent previous security-services provider for my entire current apartment complex was Amerishield Security Group, according to a factual information sheet provided to me by the polite management team at my current apartment complex.

"The official website for Statewide Patrol states that 'We are licensed by the State (Texas Department of Public Safety)'. That licensed security services provider has reportedly been issued the official state license identification number of B07692.

"According to Better Business Bureau (BBB) online records, Amerishield Security Group's 'managing member' is Marty L. Gonzales. The BBB profile on that security guard and patrol-services company cites their phone number here in Austin as: (512) 388-6016."
