FOIA Request to Highland Park 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 the Lake County Gazette have formally requested arrest records from the Highland Park Police Department under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The request specifically asks for a list of all arrests made from January 1, 2018, up until the present date. The fields we are seeking include the arrestee's name, arrest date, gender, race, date of birth, and the crime committed.
As a media organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will continue to update our readers as more information becomes available.
