Will you have the station send over an FOI so I can forward that to our legal advisor. Obviously this

Ahmeds High School


Receives Bomb Threat

Photo: AP Image
by Merrill Hope30 Sep 20150
Abomb threat was called into MacArthur High School this morning, prompting an
immediate evacuation at the same Irving, Texas, high school where freshman Ahmed
Mohamed brought in a homemade clock-in-a-box on Sept. 14 that school officials
deemed a hoax bomb.
Police spokesman James McClellan confirmed thatsomeone called the schools main
phone at 9:45 AM from an anonymous number and said a bomb would explodein 30
minutes.According to KDFW-4 (FOX), school officials took thecall seriously.
Teachers and staff evacuated the school, moving all students to thefootball field
while police swept the campus, searching each building. Officers found nothing
suspicious, giving an all clear and students were allowed to return to class around
10:45 AM.
Police called the bomb threat a hoax and continue to investigatethe incident,
objectivelyto locate the individual behind the bomb threat, who, when found, could
face state felony charges andreceive fromtwo to six months in jail plusa $10,000
fine.
During the threat, some parents chose topick up their children after getting a text
alert or automatic phone call about the evacuation.One mother told KDFW-4she
didnt feel comfortable leaving her child there because she wasnt getting enough

information from the district.


MacArthur is the same high school whereAhmed Mohamed broughtinhis
homemade clock project that did not resemble a clock but instead a possible suitcase
bomb and resulted in the teens arrest atthe time, although no charges were filed.
Under the Texas Safe Schools Act of 1995 and states education code, Irving ISD
officials acted in response to todays bomb threat no differently than they reacted to
Mohameds confusing-looking clock.Theboy continues to espouse himself a target
because of his Muslim faith, although Breitbart Texas reported that zero tolerance
policies, not racism or Islamophobia, were behind his arrest.
Mohamedsparents since unenrolled himfrom MacArthurHigh Schooland
withdrew him from Irving ISD. The 14-year-old is believed to be overseas,invited to
visitQatar by the Qatar Foundation, which gives to educational causes. Their sister
institution, theQatar Foundation International (QFI), recently granted the Arabic
Immersion Magnet School in the Houston Independent School District $75,000.

Greetings, Chief Boyd, we are Anonymous.


We are hear to ask why is it that your officers arrested Ahmed Mohamed...even after they
determined that he did not bring a bomb to school? He was arrested for "not being
forthcoming"? He said that it was a clock. How much more "forthcoming" does he need to
be? It was a clock! He said it was a clock.
Your officers told him that he did not have a right to remain silent? We think the 5th
Amendment of the Constitution has something to say about that. Perhaps your officers should
re-familiarize themselves with the Constitution which you have sworn to uphold.
This could have been an open and quickly shut case. Instead, it was escalated without
warrant. Where was the bomb squad? Where was the evacuation? Is this not standard
procedure when there is a bomb threat? Or even more when there is an actually suspected
"bomb"? Instead, the teacher took the "bomb" and put it on her desk? Then the principal
took the "bomb" and put it on his desk? What if it had been a real bomb and not just a
clock?
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Dear Officer McLellan,
Today, I came across this article: http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/northwest-dallascounty/headlines/20150915-irving-ninth-grader-arrested-after-taking-homemade-clock-toschool.ece#commentsDiv.

Your department's treatment of Ahmed is a national embarrassment. This in particular is so


moronic that it almost seems like it should be from the Onion: "'We have no information
that he claimed it was a bomb,' McLellan said. 'He kept maintaining it was a clock, but
there was no broader explanation.'Asked what broader explanation the boy could
have given, the spokesman explained: 'It could reasonably be mistaken as a device if
left in a bathroom or under a car. The concern was, what was this thing built for? Do
we take him into custody?'"
This type of over-reaction and ridiculous antics contribute to the image of police
officers as incompetent fools willing to violate the constitution because they don't
have common sense to deal with even minor situations.
I hope that Ahmed's family decides to pursue legal action, and if they are represented by CAIR, I'll be making a
donation to the cause.

Just so you know I am not alone in my assessment of you idiots, here are just a
few of the minor little people who think your actions were stupid: the White
House, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Twitter (intern job), Google Science Fair,
NASA, Bitcoin Foundation Director Bruce Fenton ($250,000 in scholarship
money), Bobby Jindal - Governor of LA, your mayor, MIT, Curt Autry of NBC12,
USA Today, JPL, Congressman Chris Van Hollen, even Mark Curtis in the
phoenix wasteland made a comment. I HOPE YOU GET THE POINT OF HOW
STUPID YOUR PEOPLE WERE!!!

Mayor Vanduyne: You might want to launch and urgent investigation into possible
water contamination at the school and the police department. It is obvious that
someone put a lot of "stupidity cool-aid" in their water!!! Luckily it appears that
you and city hall were spared from contamination!
Then there was this jewel on Facebook:
Irving Independent School Districts statement to parents about the incident did not include
an apology to Mohamed and his family and instead stressed the importance of teaching
children to report suspicious behavior.
Welcome to the Irving chapter of the Gestapo!!! Always report and then investigate?!? Your
people made a HUGE mistake and you cannot be bothered to even apologize???? Also, what
is with this idiocy where Ahmed is still suspended from school today????? If you need help
in figuring out how you should have handled this, then email me. I only charge $60/hour for
consulting. Yes, I have a masters in Education, although that is probably way above this

school staff in credentials. I also have a bachelors in electronic engineering, so I DO know


how to think!

the principal threatened to expel him if he didn't sign a full confession???????????


???????????????????????????????
Curt Autry of NBC12 summed it up with a few points I had not thought of:
14 YEAR OLD AHMED... a boy with dreams of becoming an engineer, wanted to show his
teacher the digital clock he'd made from a pencil case. The teenager's day ended not with
praise, but punishment. The school called Irving, Texas police - who hauled him off to jail in
cuffs! THREE questions, if police really thought his homemade clock was a bomb - wouldn't
they have called the bomb squad? (they do have one). Wouldn't they evacuate the entire
school complex? (they didn't)...And he looks to be all of 90 lbs - was he a real threat to the
arresting officer (over his shoulder) - did he really have to be cuffed and humiliated? Schools
need to quit calling police to handle simple disciplinary issues - and scaring the hell out of
little kids. We're creating another generation who will fear & hate police.
Look at the picture of the clock!! It clearly has a large format display a carefully etched
custom circuit board, a 9 volt battery plug (probably in case power goes out), a power cord, a
transformer to drop voltage from 110vac to probably 8vac, and another board that looks like
the controls for setting the clock. Yep, this REALLY complicate. NOT!!!
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ahmed-mohamed-arrested-homemade-clock-6462318

I especially liked the breaking news that "The British appear to have
developed some sort of giant bomb, possibly attached to a rocket." Yep, Big
Ben sure looks like rocket bomb!!
http://dallas.suntimes.com/dal-news/7/75/179272/i-stand-with-ahmed-takes-over-twitter
I look forward to tomorrow's funny reports from Irving.

Mark,
Actually all of the nerds are weighing in today and I posted that story at insideautomotive.com

That being said, there was nothing about this device that looks like a bomb. At least for anyone who has
any knowledge of circuit boards. I deal with them all of the time in recording gear and putting electronic
equipment into hard cases for carrying is SOP.

For it to be a bomb, it would have to be wired to a block of C4, dynamite, or even a pipe with explosives
inside. None of which exists on Ahmed's circuit board. And that is the true stupidity of all of this. Of course,
the police also knew this immediately and still arrested the kid. Therein lies the problem.

OK, so a 14 year old kid is scared of cops. I can believe that. But the cops knew it wasn't anything other
than an electronic clock and as one can tell from the nerd story today, it's even an electronic clock kit sold
commercially with labeling on it.

This is why the police never called it anything other than a hoax bomb. Which to everyone else in the world
it's a digital clock. I have a hoax bomb on my headboard that wakes me up every morning.

Again, anyone who knows anything about electronics or computers are laughing their asses off that this
teacher flipped out. And they are shocked the police knew there was nothing to this and still arrested the
kid.

And when you arrest people that you know are innocent you should be panicked too.

If you'll arrest this kid for that, best arrest every kid at MacArthur wearing a wristwatch. Those are used as
timers too.
Thanks for taking the time to write.

Ed,

I have been a loyal listener of Wheels for twenty years. I routinely recommend Wheels and Inside
Automotive to my friends and coworkers to get the best evaluation of vehicles they are considering
to purchase as well as great entertainment. Your productions The Backside of American History, and
A Moment in Rock and Roll History, have provided me a better understanding of our history and
American culture than any public school or college I have attended.

To the point, on September 19, 2015, your closing remarks of The Backside of American History,
implied that the Irving Independent School District overreacted to a clock and that Irving Police
Department acted inappropriately by arresting Ahmed Mohamed. Your vague assertion that the
police involvement was racially motivated was an inaccurate reflection of the facts and concerns for
all of the students and faculty. Your outrageous comparison of Ahmeds treatment to Mary Wolcott
and the Salem witch trails was listened to by hundreds of thousands of your faithful audience who I
consider very reasonable. Your statement inaccurately validated a perception of racial bias. I am
certain that you formed your opinion from information gleaned from local news sources however;
you did not nor do not have the all of the facts.

Ever since 9/11, all citizens have been encouraged, If you see something, say something. I hope
that accusations of being labeled a racist, bigot, or hater, does not discourage future outcries
thereby increasing the vulnerability of the public at large and the safety of our schools. I have been
an Irving police officer for almost thirty years and without any reservation can declare that race had
no part on the hoax bomb complaint. I can additionally assure that the safety of the students,
faculty, and staff, of MacArthur High School was the only factor considered in the investigative
process.

Information is now surfacing to the public that Ahmeds actions when questioned about the device
contributed to overall outcome. I would like to think that in the next few days as more information
is revealed that you would present the rest of the story as enthusiastically as it was first reported.

Respectfully,

Mark Parson

You really aren't getting it and your acting like an ass-clown.
Let me reiterate:
If you do not stand down and back away from your position, I'll be detaining police officers in your
jurisdiction who possess any suspicious looking objects that could be bombs. This is a felony and I'm
entitled to act in such situations as a police officer.
Do you get it yet? Back off your stupid legal stance before you cause chaos.
I also want to remind you how much of a fucking retard you are. Clocks are not bombs. I own an
arduino uno. That's something you could actually make a bomb with. You couldn't spot a bomb if it was
obvious. You think clocks are bombs. Stop using any electronic devices right?
Enjoy the media and FBI investigation. It's time for the criminals to go to jail. You are not an American
and you do not stand by us.
P.S. Here's the code for a bomb:

Mr. Bond,
Please be aware that I will be away from the District offices most of today and all of tomorrow (with
limited e-mail access).
Should Sheikh Mohamed like to meet sooner than Thursday, I will be happy to have Mr. Rick Nolly,
Director of Campus Operations, and Mr. Terry Zettle, Director of Safety and Security, reach out to you
and schedule that meeting.
I do know that Mr. Dan Cummings, Principal of MacArthur High School, has been attempting to
schedule a meeting today with Sheikh Mohamed so that he (Mr. Cummings) can better understand all
elements of the situation. My understanding is that Mr. Cummings has not been successful in
scheduling that meeting.
Perhaps you could assist Mr. Cummings in scheduling that meeting. Mr. Cummings can be reached at
972-600-7370. I believe Sheikh Mohamed and you will find Mr. Cummings to be a fair, sincere, and
helpful principal. He also wants to resolve matters as soon as possible.
Thank you for your assistance.
Jose Parra, Ed.D.

Mohamed who is in the 9th grade at MacArthur High School . Ahmed was arrested for an alleged bomb
hoax yesterday afternoon at the school. He is 14 years old and is gifted in robotics and electronics. He
says he made a clock alarm to impress his teacher. He showed the clock alarm to a male teacher early
in the day and then showed it to his female teacher that he wanted to impress around lunchtime. Even
the male teacher in the morning told him it looked like a bomb and told him not to show it to too many
others at the school. He was arrested around 2PM , handcuffed and taken to the Irving jail where he
was released to his dad after being interrogated for about an hour at the Police station. His Dad and
Ahmed believe it is religious discrimination because he is Muslim and , Sheikh Mohamed is requesting
you meet with him ASAP. He has also requested a meeting with the Police Chief. He wants his son's
name and record cleared of this bogus allegation. His question is ,if a teacher saw it early in the
morning and did nothing then Ahmed goes and shows it to another teacher around lunch time how can
it be a bomb hoax? He voluntarily showed it to two teachers one very early in the day . If they were
concerned about it being a bomb why did they wait all day to confiscate it and arrest this 14 year old

boy? The whole family is extremely traumatized. Ahmed will not be in school today. His father wants
some resolution before he returns Ahmed to MacArthur. Please call me at 214-830-6719 and let me
know when you can meet with Sheikh Mohamed. He wants me to accompany him to the meeting.
Thank you and God bless you.

Officer McClellan,

Jaeah Lee here with Mother Jones magazine in San Francisco. I'm sure you are getting bombarded
with media requests amid MacArthur High student Ahmed Mohamed's arrest. I'm hoping you can help
me with some questions to help our readers understand some of the context surrounding the news. I've
covered stories about school resource officers in the past, and I understand some of these arrests
involving minor infractions can stem from a lack of clarity of the SRO's role in a school. My questions
are:

Does Irving PD currently have a memorandum of understanding with the Irving ISD? If so, can you
send a copy?

The SRO unit page states that officers in the unit are "specially trained, veteran officers." What
requirements do officers need to meet before they can join the SRO unit at Irving?

What specialized trainings are officers required to receive in order to serve in the Irving SRO unit, and
how many hours?

Thanks for your time.

with media requests amid MacArthur High student Ahmed Mohamed's arrest. I'm hoping you can help
me with some questions to help our readers understand some of the context surrounding the news. I've
covered stories about school resource officers in the past, and I understand some of these arrests
involving minor infractions can stem from a lack of clarity of the SRO's role in a school. My questions
are:

Does Irving PD currently have a memorandum of understanding with the Irving ISD? If so, can you
send a copy?

The SRO unit page states that officers in the unit are "specially trained, veteran officers." What
requirements do officers need to meet before they can join the SRO unit at Irving?

What specialized trainings are officers required to receive in order to serve in the Irving SRO unit, and
how many hours?

Thanks for your time.


Jaeah

And police departments across this ONCE great nation wonder why there is such detestation

they dealt with Ahmed Mohamed. You violated his constitutional rights plan and simple. And I
have to tell you looked pretty stupid today on CNN. You just flat out lied about what transpired
between Ahmed and your dump ass officers. I mean what the hell where your idiot officers
thinking. It had already been determined, prior to your dumb ass officers arriving at the school,
there was no danger. But your dumb ass police officers just had to go in there and show that LITTLE
kid a thing or two.
You and everyone involved need to be flat assed fired at a minimum and federal charges
need to be brought up against you and your team for civil rights violations. And, I can
only hope the hell every one of you dumb ass pay for YOUR CRIMEs against that boy. I

One last note, I hope this or something very similar happens to someone in your family,

Hello Mayor Van Duyne,
My name is Jordan Rudner, and I'm a reporter working on a story about
one of your constituent's arrests on Monday. Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim
student at MacArthur High, was arrested after police and teachers were
suspicious about a homemade clock he brought to school.
Ahmed and his family say they were mistreated and regarded with undue
suspicion because he is Muslim they say it was just a clock, so
police interrogation and arrest was a major overreaction.
Do you support the actions of the MacArther High faculty who called
the police, and of the Irving police officers who arrested him? Do you
think their concerns were legitimate, or an overreaction?
If you could send me some thoughts, or call me at 214 604 8315, I
would deeply appreciate it. We're hoping to put a story up as soon as
we get your input.
Thanks,

Jordan

POLICE UNDER CRITICISM: A CALL TO PRAYER

I am writing today to ask for your intercession regarding a developing issue in our area. Here's the story.
You have likely read or heard about Ahmed Mohamed, perhaps America's most famous 14-year-old. Ahmed lives in Irving, a community near my home in Dallas. He recently created an electronic
clock, then brought it to school to show his engineering teacher. However, the invention looked enough like a bomb that authorities were called in. Ahmed was detained by police until they determined
that the device was harmless.
Response was immediate. President Obama tweeted, "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?" Mark Zuckerberg invited Ahmed to come to Facebook for a meeting. Twitter offered
him an internship.
Many are now accusing school and police officials of prejudice against Muslims. A Muslim leader in the community said, "I think this wouldn't even be a question if his name wasn't Ahmed Mohamed."
I watched the coverage unfold today and wondered if Ahmed was in fact the victim of discrimination. Then I heard the Irving police chief speak to the media. His name is Larry Boyd, and he is a close
personal friend. Last summer Chief Boyd arranged an event to discuss racism in law enforcement and invited me to be the keynote speaker. He is a good and godly man. I am certain that he is not
responding with prejudice against Ahmed.
As he explained, "Under Texas law, a person is guilty of possessing a hoax bomb if he possesses a device that is intended to cause anyone to be alarmed or a reaction of any type by law
enforcement officers." As soon as police determined that Ahmed did not intend to create alarm, they released him and refused to press charges.
I am not writing to criticize Ahmed Mohamed, who is obviously a very bright and creative young man. Rather, it is to ask you to pray for the authorities involved. This story has gained national
coverage, and is sparking significant criticism of Chief Boyd, the Irving police force, and school leaders. Theirs is a very difficult and often thankless job.
To be clear, Chief Boyd has not asked me to respond to this issue. I am writing because I feel compelled to ask for your intercession. Scripture calls us to pray for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Please join me in asking God to bring clarity to this situation, prevent disorder and confusion, and protect those who risk their lives to protect us.

POLICE UNDER CRITICISM: A CALL TO PRAYER

I am writing today to ask for your intercession regarding a developing issue in our area. Here's the story.
You have likely read or heard about Ahmed Mohamed, perhaps America's most famous 14-year-old. Ahmed lives in Irving, a community near my home in Dallas. He recently created an electronic
clock, then brought it to school to show his engineering teacher. However, the invention looked enough like a bomb that authorities were called in. Ahmed was detained by police until they determined
that the device was harmless.
Response was immediate. President Obama tweeted, "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House?" Mark Zuckerberg invited Ahmed to come to Facebook for a meeting. Twitter offered
him an internship.
Many are now accusing school and police officials of prejudice against Muslims. A Muslim leader in the community said, "I think this wouldn't even be a question if his name wasn't Ahmed Mohamed."
I watched the coverage unfold today and wondered if Ahmed was in fact the victim of discrimination. Then I heard the Irving police chief speak to the media. His name is Larry Boyd, and he is a close
personal friend. Last summer Chief Boyd arranged an event to discuss racism in law enforcement and invited me to be the keynote speaker. He is a good and godly man. I am certain that he is not
responding with prejudice against Ahmed.
As he explained, "Under Texas law, a person is guilty of possessing a hoax bomb if he possesses a device that is intended to cause anyone to be alarmed or a reaction of any type by law

Why was Ahmed Mohamed arrested on a bomb hoax charge? The device was never referred to as or
was implied to be an explosive device by Ahmed but rather was consistently called a clock, which your

Hello. I'm a reporter for the Washington Post. I'm trying to get further details of the Ahmed
Mohamed clock incident, and am very interested in the schools side of the story, and that of the
police. You said the device was certainly suspicious in nature, and there have been reports that he
was uncommunicative with police. Ive also heard from sources who say Ahmed had made trouble
at school before, and that his attorney had been to the school on previous occasions. Can you
confirm this? Id also love to see a police incident report if one is available.

Will you be releasing further information?

Please write back or give me a call 202 210 5997. We can talk however you want - off the record or
anonymously. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.

Subject: Ahmed Mohamed

Hello,
I am contacting you regarding the treatment of Ahmed Mohamed. This was a boy who was using his intellect
and ability to create something, which he clearly displayed to multiple teachers. Due to the prejudice and
racism of one of the teachers, this student ended up in handcuffs and fingerprinted at one of your facilities.
This is obscene. The lack of common sense your officers displayed is embarrassing. If I had that sort of
ridiculous, uninformed, fire-from-the-hip mentality on my staff I would immediately fire them, and I implore
you to do so as well.
I completely understand concern and safety for the American people, and I 100% support that. However, the
complete lack of understanding and thoughtfulness which came from your officers is disgusting. Taking a child
who did not have ill intentions and clearly displayed his invention to his teacher as a proud achievement was
one of the shadiest, most irresponsible things that your division could have done.
Again, I am completely disgusted that you would employ, or even begin to support an officer that so grossly
disregard the basic facts about this situation.
For shame. I hope you immediately rectify this and address the asinine officers in charge of this humiliation.

I thought you might be interested in this article Bad timing? Experts


skeptical of cool clock that led to Texas boys arrest.

Ahmed Mohameds clock earned him a White House invite and praise
from around the world, but critics who looked closely at the device
question whether it was much of an engineering feat. Not part of his
regular assignment, and just made to impress his teacher, according to
Ahmed, detractors say that the clock may be a disassembled Radio Shack
model stuffed into a metal box.

Subject: Quick question from the Texas Tribune
Hello Mayor Van Duyne,
My name is Jordan Rudner, and I'm a reporter working on a story about
one of your constituent's arrests on Monday. Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim
student at MacArthur High, was arrested after police and teachers were
suspicious about a homemade clock he brought to school.
Ahmed and his family say they were mistreated and regarded with undue
suspicion because he is Muslim they say it was just a clock, so
police interrogation and arrest was a major overreaction.
Do you support the actions of the MacArther High faculty who called
the police, and of the Irving police officers who arrested him? Do you
think their concerns were legitimate, or an overreaction?
If you could send me some thoughts, or call me at 214 604 8315, I
would deeply appreciate it. We're hoping to put a story up as soon as
we get your input.
Thanks,
Jordan

This is what happens when we (IPD) screw something up. If you have to go to your Sgt., and the Sgt.
has to go to the Lt., and the Lt. has to go to the Capt., and the Capt. has to go to the Assistant Chief
to make a decision on whether to arrest or not, then you probably shouldnt make the arrest until
more investigation is done. That thing didnt even look like a bomb. And now, the kid is being made
into a hero. And, the city is going to pay big for this one. He wont need a scholarship to MIT.

Irving Police Department, Public Information Office


Dear James McLellan:
I am an editor of Wikipedia, a multilingual project to create a complete and accurate
encyclopedia by open editing. We gather information from all types of sources, but the web
sites of government bodies, institutes of higher learning, and other non-profit organizations
are often particularly useful. The English-language version may be viewed on the web at
http://en.wikipedia.org/ As a unique and highly visible project, we freely and publicly
release our work, that it may benefit humankind. To this end, we deeply respect copyright,
and are careful to prevent any infringement.
We would like your permission to include an image that appears in one of your press releases
in our encyclopedia. Specifically, we are interested in copying the photograph of Ahmed
Mohamed's clock, accessible at:
http://cityofirving.org/DocumentCenter/View/16607
or on Facebook at:
https://www.facebook.com/IrvingPD/photos/pcb.891843477566091/891840380899734/?
type=3&theater
In order to facilitate us in using this image, we would ask for you to either explicitly state
that the Irving Police Department is releasing this image into the Public Domain (thereby
waiving all future copyright interest in it) or that you wish to license your work under the
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) that
Wikipedia uses. You can find the license text at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_AttributionShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License
Simply explicitly declaring that you wish that this image be released into the Public Domain
may be the simplest option and it seems as if that option may be consistent with your
apparent intent in distributing this image to the public in the first place.
However, if you prefer to license the image under CC-BY-SA, your department would retain
full copyright but we would be granted the right to distribute the image, as would any future
users of it. The use of a license would also require that the image be attributed to the Irving
Police Department in all future uses.
Please notify me if you are interested in granting the necessary rights so that the image of
Ahmed Mohamed's clock may appear in Wikipedia. I can be contacted by e-mail at
by telephone at +41 079 902 24 65 (I am in Zurich and in consideration
of time zones please only call between 8 AM and 1 PM your time), and by post at:

Hi Richie,

Are there any documents responsive to these questions?

The SRO unit page states that officers in the unit are "specially trained, veteran officers." What
requirements do officers need to meet before they can join the SRO unit at Irving?

What specialized trainings are officers required to receive in order to serve in the Irving SRO unit, and
how many hours?

Officer McClellan,

Jaeah Lee here with Mother Jones magazine in San Francisco. I'm sure you are getting bombarded
with media requests amid MacArthur High student Ahmed Mohamed's arrest. I'm hoping you can help
me with some questions to help our readers understand some of the context surrounding the news. I've
covered stories about school resource officers in the past, and I understand some of these arrests
involving minor infractions can stem from a lack of clarity of the SRO's role in a school. My questions
are:

Does Irving PD currently have a memorandum of understanding with the Irving ISD? If so, can you
send a copy?

The SRO unit page states that officers in the unit are "specially trained, veteran officers." What
requirements do officers need to meet before they can join the SRO unit at Irving?

What specialized trainings are officers required to receive in order to serve in the Irving SRO unit, and
how many hours?

Thanks for your time.

How were you able to remove anything from the portfolio? What I have wont let me delete or
move anything. I can only copy files to another folder, but that doesnt remove it from the list of

this shouldnt be a problem in the future w/ any other requests that you need access to. Janet, I am

KO, Les, Janet,

IT was able to pull the emails responsive to the request from WFAA below. Clock brought in a lot
of unresponsive emails related to Kronos clocking in and other timesheet related emails so there are
closer to 1400 emails now. I have saved them to the S drive for your review. Here is the link: S:\City
Secretary Office\ORR\PI-15-1402.pdf. Let me know if there is any issues accessing this file and I will
move it somewhere else.

Attached is the IT itemized costs, let me know if you would like me to provide the requestor this
estimate or if CAO or IPD is handling that. If IPD is releasing other documents related to the first part
of the request it may be best to include this cost as well.

Let me know if CSO needs to do anything more with this request.

The CAO has determined that the below request requires IT to search emails. I had originally sent

Please do an email pull from Sept. 14 to Sept. 23 to/from COI email addresses only using the

Please send me the estimate and the email file by noon on Monday, Oct. 5; if that is not enough
time, please let me know. These will need to be reviewed by CAO and IPD before the Oct. 7
deadline.

Yet another PIA request. This one is much narrower in that it only asks for all e-mails sent by police
employees mentioning Mohamed or Ahmed Mohamed between Sep 10 and October 20.

Do you recall what the earlier search parameters were when IT ran their e-mail search/dump? If it
included Mohamed or Ahmed Mohamed, we can cull from the folders we still have. If not, well
need IT to do another data dump.

Before you sent this statement, I already had Jamie working on a similar statement. We sent out the

Hello. I'm a reporter for the Washington Post. I'm trying to get further details of the Ahmed
Mohamed clock incident, and am very interested in the schools side of the story, and that of the
police. You said the device was certainly suspicious in nature, and there have been reports that he
was uncommunicative with police. Ive also heard from sources who say Ahmed had made trouble
at school before, and that his attorney had been to the school on previous occasions. Can you
confirm this? Id also love to see a police incident report if one is available.

Will you be releasing further information?

Please write back or give me a call


. We can talk however you want - off the record or
anonymously. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks. Please write back if you can. Justin
