PR 17-03 Harris v. City of Providence – No Violation

The Complainant alleged the City violated the APRA when it produced some documents in response to her APRA request, yet provided additional documents in response to a request filed by another individual that the Complainant claimed was responsive to her APRA request. The Complainant's APRA request sought: "[a]ll logs maintained by the Providence Police Department of all calls received * * *" Upon review of the other individual's request, his request specifically sought "all incident reports and/or calls for service for the entity known as * * *" Having compared the two requests, we found that they were not similar and sought different documents. There was no violation of the APRA.
