FOIA Request to Tazewell County Sheriff's Office Regarding 2024 Arrest Records on January 7, 2025.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Chambana Sun have requested records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The request was made for a list of all arrests from January 1, 2024, till December 31, 2024.
The information sought includes the arrestee's name, arrest date, gender, race, date of birth and the crime committed. This data is crucial in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization dedicated to disseminating important information to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. We await the response from Tazewell County Sheriff's Office regarding this request and will continue to keep our readers informed about developments in local governmental affairs.
