FOIA Request to Danville Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Danville Police Department by Chambana Sun, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request, dated November 13, 2025, seeks access to records that provide details about all current employees of the police department. Specifically, the requested information includes any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that identifies current employees and provides data such as name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if available), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (if present in public-facing records).

The request emphasizes the need for electronic formats of these records and asks for the most recent versions if multiple rosters exist. This includes variations like HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters.

Chambana Sun underscores its role in gathering and reporting news to hold public institutions accountable and ensure transparency. As part of this effort, they have requested a fee waiver based on their status as a media organization. Additionally, the requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit dedicated to investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
