FOIA Request to City of Hanover Park Police Department regarding active employee roster on November 13, 2025.
A request for public records has been submitted to the City of Hanover Park Police Department under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request, sent by North Cook News, seeks access to various records that identify all current employees within the police department. Specifically, the request asks for any roster, directory, staffing list, payroll record, or personnel summary that includes details such as each employee's 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 request emphasizes the need for the most recent versions of these rosters if multiple versions exist. This includes distinctions between HR rosters, payroll rosters, sworn-officer rosters, and civilian-staff rosters. North Cook News has requested this information in electronic format to facilitate its reporting efforts.
As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs and ensuring transparency in public institutions, North Cook News has also requested a fee waiver based on its role in disseminating information to the public. The requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy—a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
