Will County Gazette

FOIA Request to Village of Bolingbrook Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted by the Will County Gazette to the Village of Bolingbrook Police Department on November 13, 2025. The request seeks access to public records that provide a comprehensive list of all current employees within the police department. Specifically, the request asks for any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that identifies each employee and includes details such as name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if available), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (only if this information is part of existing public-facing records).

The Will County Gazette has requested the most recent version of these documents in electronic format. This includes various rosters such as HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters if they exist in multiple forms.

As a media organization dedicated to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, the Will County Gazette emphasizes the importance of access to public records for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. In line with their role in disseminating information to the public, they have also requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request.

The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating government actions through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
