Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner New York City Police Department One Police Plaza New York, NY 10038
Dear Commissioner Kelly:
I am writing to request the assistance of your office in locating and contacting one of your detectives, Detective David Fitzpatrick of the Technical Assistance Response Unit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in conjunction with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, is conducting a program, known as the “Indoor Air Residential Assistance Program - WTC Dust Cleanup,” to clean up any residual dust in residential units that may be associated with the collapse of the World Trade Center.
As part of this effort a review of existing aerial photography is being performed by U.S. EPA’s Office of Research and Development’s Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center • (EPIC), on behalf of EPA Region 2, to evaluate the dispersal of debris, dust and other structural materials from the collapse of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. Photography obtained by the New York City Police Department that day would be a critical element in this review. We understand that Det. Fitzpatrick was responsible for obtaining these photographs. While we have some of this photography we are requesting access, to the maximum extent possible, to the aerial photographs and any associated metadata obtained on September 11,2001 and the days immediately following.
Thank you for your assistance in this endeavor. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 212 637-3116 or have your staff contact Angela Carpenter at 212 637-3450.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Callahan Assistant Regional Administrator for New York City Response and Recovery Operations
