FOIA Request to Lake Forest Police Department Regarding Arrest Records from 2018 to Present on December 12, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at the Lake County Gazette have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140) to the Lake Forest Police Department.
Our request pertains specifically to arrest records dating from January 1, 2018, up until the present day. The requested information includes details such as the arrestee's name, date of arrest, gender, race, date of birth, and the crime committed.
Access to public records is essential for us in fulfilling our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver.
We await a response from the Lake Forest Police Department regarding this request. We remain dedicated to bringing light into local government activities and ensuring that our readers are well-informed about their community's law enforcement actions.
