FOIA Request to Monroe County Sheriff's Department regarding the number of job applications and tracking on August 14, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Monroe County Sheriff's Department by The Sconi, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request, sent on August 14, 2025, seeks records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically asking for data in an electronic format.

The request includes two main points: firstly, it asks for the number of job applications received by the department on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. Secondly, it requests 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 its reporting efforts. As part of this commitment to public service journalism, they have requested a fee waiver due to their status as a media professional organization.

Additionally, The Sconi is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found at this link.
