FOIA Request to Fond Du Lac County Sheriff's Department regarding new recruits application form on July 29, 2025.

The Sconi, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs, has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Fond Du Lac County Sheriff's Department in Wisconsin. The request seeks access to a PDF copy of the application form used for recruiting applicants. This request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for receiving the documents in electronic format.

The purpose of this request is to gather information necessary for reporting news to the public and ensuring transparency within public institutions. As part of this effort, The Sconi aims to hold government agencies accountable by providing accurate and comprehensive news coverage. Given their role as a media organization, they have requested a fee waiver for accessing these records.

The Sconi is also affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental actions through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found on their website at https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
