OUC FOIA Requests

The Office of Communications (OUC) is the custodian of records for audio transmissions and event chronologies for the Metropolitan Police Department and DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services. We are also responsible for preparing and reviewing audio for quality assurance. The retention period for audio recordings is three years; thereafter, they are automatically purged.

All FOIA requests should be submitted in writing. For more information on how to file a FOIA request, visit the Government Resource Center FOIA page.
