11-ORD-014 is cited as a precedent for the principle that a public agency does not violate the Open Records Act when it denies a request on the basis of the records' nonexistence, provided it made a good faith effort to conduct a search using methods which could reasonably be expected to produce the requested records. This decision adopts the reasoning from 11-ORD-014 to conclude that the Division of Police did not violate the Open Records Act in the case at hand.
11-ORD-014 was Followed by 14-ORD-166
