FOIA Request to Calumet City Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Calumet City Police Department by South Cook News, a media organization focused on local governmental affairs. The request seeks access to records detailing the current roster of police department employees. Specifically, the requested information includes any available roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that identifies all current employees. The request asks for details such as each employee's name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if included in existing records), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (only if included in public-facing records).
The request emphasizes the need for the most recent versions of any existing rosters, whether they pertain to human resources, payroll, sworn officers, or civilian staff. South Cook News has requested this information in electronic format to facilitate their reporting process.
As part of their commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, South Cook News is seeking a fee waiver due to their role as a media organization. They highlight their affiliation with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating governmental agencies and promoting transparency through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.
