FOIA Request to Huntley Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Huntley Police Department on November 13, 2025, by McHenry Times. The request seeks access to records detailing the current roster of employees within the department. Specifically, the requested documents include any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that identifies all current employees.

The request outlines a need for specific information about each employee where available in existing records. This includes their name, job title or rank, sex or gender if included in existing rosters, date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth if this information is present in public-facing records. The request also specifies a preference for receiving these records in electronic format and asks for the most recent version of each type of roster if multiple versions exist.

The McHenry Times has expressed its role as a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. As such, they have requested a fee waiver based on their status as members of the media. The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, which supports media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws.

We look forward to receiving this information in an electronic format as it will greatly aid in our reporting efforts. As always, we remain open for any questions or clarifications regarding this request.
