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

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department by The Sconi, a media organization dedicated to covering local governmental affairs. The request seeks access to all arrest records from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The requested data includes specific details such as the arrestee's name, sex, race, age, date of birth, and citizenship status. Additionally, information on the booking ID, date of arrest, booking photo, names of arresting officers, type of crime committed, location and date of the crime are also sought.

The Sconi emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for their role in holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. They have requested that the information be provided in an electronic format and have asked for a fee waiver due to their status as a media organization. This request is supported by The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
