Dear Open Records Unit Staff Members for the Austin Police Department (APD),

Thank you for your reply letter to me today in response to my online public-information request that you received on November 26, 2021.

I was very surprised by your statement to me today that you have no record that cites the names of APD officers whose job duties in 2021 included deployment of decibel-reading technology for the investigation of noise pollution complaints to APD by private citizens, famous persons, CEOs of for-profit corporations, private employers, visitors to Austin, landlords, realtors, religious groups, civic groups or other non-profit groups, student groups, political-action groups, government officials, university officials, school district officials, or any other persons.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
John Kevin McMillan.
My solo-occupancy efficiency-apartment-unit rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019:
Pebble Creek Apts., 8805 North Plaza Drive, Bldg. 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
Home phone: (512) 342-2295.
Cell phone: (512) 993-7305.


John Kevin McMillan

Dear Mr. John Kevin McMillan,

The Austin Police Department (APD) received a Public Information request from you on November 26, 2021, to request copies of records pertaining to the following:

“I am seeking one copy each for any currently applicable Austin Police Department (APD) legal documents or records that cite the full legal names or full legal name and officer ranks or rank ---Lieutenant, Detective, or Sergeant, for instance---of each of the Austin Police Department state-certified peace officers whose job duties in calendar year 2021 have included or currently include deployment of decibel-reading technology in the investigation of noise pollution complaints to APD or the City Government of Austin by any of the following: private citizens, visitors in Austin, famous persons, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of for-profit corporations, realtors, landlords, non-profit organizations, religious groups, civic groups, political-action groups, student groups, public figures, State Government of Texas officials, U.S. Government officials, Travis County Government officials, City Government of Austin officials, University of Texas System officials, University of Texas at Austin officials, Austin Community College officials, Texas A&M University System officials, Austin Independent School District officials, Round Rock Independent School District officials, private employers, public officials, or any other persons or entities, respectively.”

Unfortunately, the Austin Police Department does not keep track of the data you are seeking, as such, the Austin Police Department has no responsive information to your request. 

Thank you for contacting the Austin Police Department.
