Police Escort Spending
Name: David Covucci
Affiliation: FOIAball
Location: UConn Storrs
Request Date Start: 01/01/2025
Request Date End: 12/12/2025
Details: Pursuant to Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act (Chapter 14 Conn. Gen. Stats.), I am requesting the following documents from your athletics department.
Records regarding the total spending by your school’s football team on security and escorts from 1/1/2025 to 12/12/2025.
This includes: local police and sheriff departments, county and state agencies, federal agencies, and independent security contractors.
I am happy to accept a lump sum from whatever data you maintain, if that is easy enough.
If you can not provide that data, I am requesting all invoices you received from local police and sheriff departments, county and state agencies, any federal agencies, and independent security contractors.
While I am asking for documents specifically relating to football, if it is too difficult or time-consuming to parse records and separate out football, I will accept all department spending.
Please note that Connecticut law requires public agencies to respond to requests within four days of receiving them by either processing or denying the request, or providing written notice requesting an extension.
As I am an independent journalist engaged in legitimate newsgathering, I am requesting a fee waiver of any associated costs with this request. In lieu of a fee waiver, I am requesting a detailed invoice of any potential costs, if any, associated with this request.
Thank you very much!
David
