FOIA Request to Northbrook Police Department Regarding Arrest Records from 2018 to Present on December 12, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Prairie State Wire have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking access to all arrest records dating from January 1, 2018, up until the present day.
The requested information includes specific fields such as the arrestee's name, date of arrest, gender, race, date of birth and the crime committed. This data is vital for us in gathering and reporting news to the public. It enables us to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to our readers.
As a media organization dedicated to informing the public about important local issues, we believe we qualify for a fee waiver under the provisions of the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid us in our mission of providing comprehensive coverage of local governmental affairs.
Should there be any questions or clarifications needed regarding our request, we at Prairie State Wire are more than willing to discuss them further.
