FOIA Request to Jefferson County Sheriff's Department regarding 2023 arrest records on September 24, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department by The Sconi, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks access to all arrest records from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The requested data includes detailed information such as the arrestee's name, sex, race, age, date of birth, and citizenship status. Additionally, the request asks for booking IDs, dates of arrest, booking photos, names of arresting officers, types of crimes committed, locations and dates of crimes.
The request emphasizes the importance of these records in enabling The Sconi to fulfill its role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. It also highlights the requestor's affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating state and federal governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
The Sconi has requested that the information be provided in an electronic format and has applied for a fee waiver based on their status as a media organization involved in public reporting.
