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

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Fond Du Lac County Sheriff's Department by The Sconi, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks comprehensive arrest records for the entire year of 2023. Specifically, the requested data includes arrestee details 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.

The request also asks for details surrounding each arrest: the names of arresting officers, type and location of crime, and dates related to these incidents. The request emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency.

The Sconi has requested that this information be provided in an electronic format. As a media entity involved in disseminating news to the public, they have asked for a fee waiver based on their role in providing transparency through reporting.

The email notes that The Sconi is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating state and federal governmental agencies using FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
