FOIA Request to Elk Grove Village Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Elk Grove Village Police Department by North Cook News on November 13, 2025. The request seeks access to records detailing the current roster of employees within the police department. Specifically, the request asks for any available rosters, directories, staffing lists, payroll records, or personnel summaries that identify all current employees of the department.
The requested information includes each employee's name, job title or rank, sex or gender (if this information is present in existing records), date of hire or appointment, and age or year of birth (only if included in public-facing records). If multiple versions of such rosters exist—such as HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters—the most recent version of each is requested.
North Cook News emphasizes its role in gathering and reporting news to the public and highlights the importance of access to public records for holding public institutions accountable. The organization has also requested a fee waiver based on its status as a media entity. Additionally, North Cook News is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests.
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.
