FOIA Request to Juneau County Sheriff’s Department regarding the number of applications and tracking on August 14, 2025.
The Sconi, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs, has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Juneau County Sheriff’s Department in Wisconsin. The request seeks records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically asking for data on the number of job applications received by the department over various time frames such as weekly, monthly, or yearly. Additionally, the request asks for information about which department or individual is responsible for tracking these application numbers.
The Sconi emphasizes its role in providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable through access to public records. The organization has requested that the information be provided in an electronic format and has also sought a fee waiver due to its status as a media professional entity.
The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies using Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
