FOIA Request to Oneida County Sheriff's Department regarding 2023 arrest records on September 24, 2025.

The Sconi, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs, has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Oneida County Sheriff's Department in Wisconsin. The request seeks comprehensive arrest records for the entire year of 2023. The requested data includes various details about each arrestee such as name, sex, race, age, date of birth, and citizenship status. Additionally, information about the booking process is sought, including booking ID and booking photos. Details about the arresting officers and specifics of the crime—such as type, location, and date—are also requested.

The Sconi emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for their role in reporting news and ensuring transparency in public institutions. They have also requested a fee waiver for this information based on their status as a media entity. This request aligns with their commitment to holding government accountable and providing transparent information to the public.

Furthermore, The Sconi's affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy underscores their dedication to investigating governmental actions using FOIA requests and similar legal avenues. More information about this coalition can be found on their website here.
