The FOIA request, delivered March 3, 2003, has not been filled, although the State Police emergency management division has stated its department “is compiling the information.” The requested documents include a Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategy Plan and a Michigan State Police Administration Plan, among other items. Several of the documents detail the distribution of federal money entering Michigan in order to prevent terrorist attacks. By operating under the now too common shroud of Homeland Security Secrecy, the State police are inhibiting counties from accessing critical information necessary to form effective emergency response plans. Secrecy in the name of security is stifling the critical flow of information even between state authorities and sabotaging their own goals of security and safety.
